If attorney Richard Chargar happens to leave his iPhone in a taxi while rushing to meet clients, he can rest assured that no one will see confidential information from clients of his employee benefits and executive compensation practice. All information on the phone, from his grocery list and daily schedule to details about executive severance packages, would be erased through a security program his law firm has added.
“We get lots of questions from clients regarding security and privacy,” said Chargar, who as managing partner of the Stamford Office of Kelley Drye & Warren, advises clients on employee benefits plans. “My iPhone is set to be secure, so if I were to lose my phone, everything on it would be erased. Our firm would be able to do that from our office in New York.”
