What Every Company Employee Should Know
How comfortable would you feel sharing every email you've drafted with someone you hardly know - or, worse, a complete stranger? What about your text messages being used as evidence in a lawsuit against your company? In the complex landscape of business, understanding that emails, text messages, & other documents you generate might have a legal impact on your company is crucial. In addition, understanding how to communicate properly with the company's attorney can make a huge difference now - as well as in the future - if a lawsuit were ever to arise.
How would documents you create show up in a lawsuit? How might you be called upon to participate in a lawsuit involving your company? Whether you work directly with your company's attorneys or not, this conversation will benefit you as we explore how to properly communicate in a manner that attorneys prefer as well as how a lawsuit unfolds. We'll also discuss how you can communicate an analysis of a business problem in a manner similar to the way attorneys communicate an analysis of a legal issue.
Join Michelle Whelan, a Clinical Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, as she examines key legal concepts everyone should know as part of their working life.
