Event Details
Ready or not, companies are exposed to the risk of litigation and investigation everyday. In this changing legal and regulatory environment, the cost of compliance, and the harsh consequences of non-compliance are exponentially growing. The demands of e-discovery may not be avoidable, but by planning, the cost, burden and duration certainly can be lessened.
The company’s goal should be to establish defensible processes as part of its routine operations and avoid excessive costs in responding to litigation, investigations, and/or regulatory requests. A company also needs to audit its preparedness to assure its corporate governance group that enterprise-wide it is in compliance with internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
This program looks at a process for auditing your preparedness for a litigation event with the goal of protecting and reducing the risk to your company’s assets. Specifically, the presentation will address the rapidly expanding areas of corporate governance and Intellectual property audits, new Federal Rules on electronic discovery, and emerging laws and regulations.
