It
is a well-settled issue that Attorneys engaged in financial activities
of their clients fall under the mandated provisions of the Gramm-Leach
Bliley Act. If your practice menu includes real estate closing,
financial planning, estate planning or you represent a client in
any financial area, you fall under the guidelines. The American
Bar Association filed an action in the Federal District Court, asking
the Court to exempt Attorneys from Title V of the GLB Act. The action
is pending and will not be resolved for years to come. Both sides
have expressed that will appeal any lower court decision. Compliance
with the Safe Guarding Provisions of GLB are simple, as is the disposal
by shredding of files and records that contain Non-Public Information
of a financial nature of your clients.
