Corporate America sends its most proprietary data to its outside counsel with the hope and a prayer that it will remain secure. Patent applications, deal memos, financial plans, M&A strategy documents and more are sent routinely to outside counsel via email. Information that can move the market or have a significant strategic impact on the company is sent for action or comment, but the security of that data is never thought about by the sender … or the recipient.
