Proper disposal of client files
First of all, don't just throw them in a dumpster outside:
A swanky Manhattan law firm cleaned house by leaving six Dumpsters stuffed with confidential case files out on the street - exposing their clients' most personal information.
The private documents, mostly from the 1990s, included addresses, medical records and Social Security numbers, the Daily News found. (See article for photo. NY Daily News: Law firm clients' files filled with personal data left in six dumpsters on street, I.D. thief's gold.)
If you have to do a major house cleaning of files, there are shredding companies that will come to your office. They'll back the truck right up to your door, and you can supervise the shredding.
