Description:

Learn the importance of having a response plan with dealing with government investigations.

With the number of investigations conducted by the Department of Justice, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a host of other state and federal regulatory bodies on the rise, it is critical to recognize – and be prepared to address – the challenges involved in responding to government inquiries.

Though contact from the government may take numerous forms and vary in associated level of intrusion, each mode of contact poses corresponding risks, and decisions made at the outset of an investigation frequently shape its outcome.

This topic will provide companies and individuals who may be on the receiving end of such inquiries – both lawyers and non-lawyers alike – with a framework through which to effectively prepare for and respond to a government investigation. The material will also address practical considerations related to document preservation, collection and review, and navigating privilege concerns.
