You just learned that your company was (or probably will be) sued. How should you go about informing key employees to preserve evidence? The first step is to issue a litigation hold notice to key individuals at the company who may have information relevant or potentially relevant to the lawsuit (or threatened lawsuit). The goal of the notice is to ensure the preservation of all information in the company’s possession or control related to the claims or defenses in the lawsuit. Failure to issue the notice and implement the litigation hold could result in the inadvertent destruction of relevant evidence. No litigant wants to lose the ability to introduce evidence that would have been helpful in the lawsuit. Moreover, destruction of relevant evidence, regardless of whether it is helpful, could lead to judicial sanctions or a judgment against the company. http://bit.ly/1P06MvP http://bit.ly/1P06MvP+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
