Erik Mazzone offered this great advice for planning and preparing for a law firm disaster. Of course, Im always interested in posts and ideas about disasters.
One of the things Im interested in, but dont necessarily agree with, is Mazzones assertion that you need to prefer laptops over desktops. Mazzone suggests that laptops have the mobility factor that trumps cost. While this is a necessarily general assumption, the cost for on-site and off-site backups can save and minimize some of the costs of laptops. Some companies offer off-site backup solutions for as little as $50 per year, and you can find an external 2 terabyte hard drive for less than $100. I think the essential premise Mazzone makes in his mobility argument is that despite a disaster, you can continue your business operations. This can be an important element to your law practice. Similarly, as Android tablets become more powerful, lawyers will rely on these devices much like laptops and desktops.
Ultimately, now is the time to plan for any disaster. One thing Mazzone misses though, probably because his post is tech-related, is the importance of insurance. Make sure you have sufficient coverage for any disaster.
