Communicate! Don't Litigate!! SM (keynote, half day, full day)
Risk Management for Executives & Managers

(1 day, 6 contact hours)

Overview
This course is designed to get managers and executives talking about litigation prevention BEFORE the company is involved in a lawsuit. How many lawyers can do this in a fun, humorous, upbeat manner? Perry can, using his trademark theme of Stay Home! Don't go to Work!! SM (the only proven way to manage risk flawlessly). Participants will examine the role of computer forensics in the discovery phase of a lawsuit. Perry will present examples of how "smoking gun" documents are created when a company does not develop a consistent retention program for electronic documents. Individuals will learn their team roles in the litigation process through the use of hands-on decision-making exercises. Students will identify potential liability issues through diverse case scenarios, and devise an ethical course of action to minimize corporate risk.
