Can lawyers work remotely?

Lawyers work remotely in transactional practice areas: contract drafting, corporate work, intellectual property, compliance, estate planning, and immigration.

Attorney-client privilege requires identical protection for remote and in-office work. Encrypted document management systems (NetDocuments, iManage) store all files. VPN connections protect data transmission. Secure client portals enable document sharing. Private workspaces prevent unauthorized viewing. Firms provide secure laptops with remote wipe capability. State bar ethics rules approve cloud-based practice with appropriate security measures.
