The Hidden Risk in Everyday Legal Emails

1 in 3 Data Breaches Involve human error. Even experienced legal professionals make mistakes — email errors are one of the leading causes of data breaches.
Misaddressed Emails Breach client confidentiality. Sending privileged information to the wrong recipient can immediately violate ethical and legal obligations.
Attorneys Send Hundreds of Emails Weekly High communication volume increases the likelihood of mistakes, especially across multiple cases and clients.
Microsoft 365 Lacks Before-Send Protection Outlook does not prevent users from sending sensitive emails to the wrong recipient or with incorrect attachments.
Manual Email Checks Are Not Reliable Relying on human review alone is inconsistent and often fails under pressure.
Time Pressure Increases Email Errors Urgent deadlines and fast-paced legal work lead to rushed decisions and overlooked mistakes.

Why the Probelm is Increasing

Legal professionals are under more pressure than ever:

  • Increased email volume across multiple clients, cases, and jurisdictions
  • Speed of communication expectations from clients and partners
  • Hybrid work environments increasing distractions and context switching
  • Highly sensitive legal data requiring strict confidentiality
  • Limitations of Microsoft 365, which reacts after errors rather than preventing them

Real-world scenarios:

  • A junior associate sends a draft contract to the wrong “John Smith”
  • A partner accidentally replies-all including opposing counsel in a confidential thread
