If you saw the results, published in April, you know that “reputational harm” was legal professionals’ No. 1 fear. It was [very unlike Joan Jett](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6fB8KMUnz0) — and very intriguing. We wanted more info: What kind of reputational risk do you fear specifically, and what steps are y’all taking to protect your reputation? So, being our nosy selves, we sent out another survey, this one digging deeper. Is malpractice more frightening than a data breach? Are small firms dreading judicial sanctions, or is it social media that instills true terror?
