WHY YOU SHOULD PARTICIPATE
In the post-Enron, post-Arthur Andersen world, companies and their counsel have to be more sensitive than ever to the risks and costs of document retention and destruction. Are you aware that your company or client can be penalized for spoliation- destroying evidence relevant to a legal proceeding - not only for litigation or investigations already pending, but also for future litigation that your company or client can reasonably foresee or anticipate? The recent Rambus and tobacco litigation cases offer important lessons you need to know.
What steps can your firm take to avoid spoliation-related sanctions? Is your company's document retention program out of date? Learn from two experts involved directly in the most recent case law. The last 10 minutes are reserved for your questions! This unique telephone briefing is part of PLI's ongoing monthly series on law practice management.
