Jonathan Allen, Allen Law, PC
Chair, CLLA Eastern Region
Please join us in New York City for the CLLA Eastern Region Conference. The festivities will begin with a Welcome Party on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
The following day, we will return to the Manhattan Penthouse for a day full of education and networking. We will start with breakfast, enjoy the amazing views, catch up with old friends, and make some new ones. This year we are focusing our education program on cutting-edge technology and how it will change our lives and practices. The program will cover Artificial Intelligence and its impact on society and the practice of law/business in general, as well as cybersecurity. Should we embrace AI and utilize it in our practices or should we avoid it because…. Well, we all saw the Terminator!
Wanda Borges of Borges & Associates, LLC and panel will provide us with some much-needed practical advice on how to minimize cybersecurity threats in our practices. The program is being tailored to allow our New York members to satisfy a new CLE requirement concerning cyber-protection. Lisa Mirabelli of Vertigo Media Group will talk to us about how Artificial Intelligence will impact our lives and practices in profound ways― and much faster than we all think.
During lunch, I have the honor of passing the gavel to Chair Elect Joseph Molinaro, after which he will swear in the new 2023-2024 Eastern Region Executive Council. We will also be honoring this years’ winner of the Warren Pinchuck Award.
Whether you are a bankruptcy practitioner, collections attorney, collection agent, law list, or business owner, we are confident you will find value in this program.
Please say “I’ll be back”* and join me in New York! While we hope you can attend in-person, there will be an option to attend virtually for those that are unable to make
the trip.
*The Terminator, science fiction film, 1984

Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection (1.25 HRS)
In a world where the hybrid of in-office work and remote work from home is the “new” normal, law firms need to build people-centric cybersecurity strategies to protect client and law office electronic data and communication. At least 40 states have adopted a Duty of Technology Competence requirement for lawyers. Florida and North Carolina require some technology training. New York is the first state to mandate Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection education. This program has been designed to enable lawyers to attain an understanding of:
- fundamental issues of securely sending, receiving, and storing client and law office electronic data and communication
- cybersecurity features of various technologies to protect client and law office electronic data and communication
- the threats of cyberattacks and steps to take to prevent those attacks and inadvertent disclosure of confidential client and law office information
- security measures to protect client and law office electronic data and communication when working remotely or when using personal or business mobile devices
The program will include a discussion of Cyber Incident Response Planning, Law Office Policies and Protocols and related laws and will offer real-life examples and practical steps which may be taken to protect electronic data and thwart cyber-crime.

Artificial Intelligence Usage and Ethics
[Beware the Dangers that Lurk and Be Mindful of Responsibilities] (1.25 HRS)
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay and can be a valuable tool in your law firm practice. AI can assist in the creation of legal documents from contracts through memoranda of law, which may provide attorneys with a false sense of ease having a virtual assistant. Dangers abound; however, and attorneys must be warned of the dangers that lurk therein. The U.S. District Court decision in Mata v. Avianca decision sanctioning individual lawyers and their law firm for abandoning their “gatekeeping role on attorneys to ensure the accuracy of their filings” has caused counsel and courts alike to sit up and take notice of the risks inherent with the use of Artificial Intelligence to create legal documents. As of September, 2023, three U.S. District Court Judges, one Bankruptcy Court Judge and one Judge from the Court of International Trade have adopted rules mandating certifications from attorneys stating whether or not artificial intelligence has been used in any paper, brief, memorandum, etc. and, if so, that the AI has been fact checked and verified as to accuracy. Comment 8 to ABA Model Rule 1.1 requires lawyers to “…keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology…”
Judge Stong and Ms. Chin will discuss the Mata v. Avianca decision, the benefits of using Artificial Intelligence and the Ethics involved in such use. In addition, they will discuss the possibility or likelihood that more Bankruptcy Courts and state courts will be adopting AI mandates.

We will talk about the integral features in today’s collections software, such as workflow automation, document generation, paperless office options, trust account reconciliation, payment processing, cloud-based accessibility, and more. We will also discuss how free, subscription-based, or purchased software and other technology can help ensure that law firms and collection agencies of all sizes can be as efficient as possible.
