Risk Mitigation 101 Training Modules

Discovery - Participants learn how the legal process works - - how the media and opposing parties to a lawsuit or governmental proceeding obtain information from the company and its management. Participants get to witness how seemingly innocent and informal communications can expose them, as well as the company, to civil and criminal liability.

Risk Mitigation Practices – Participants learn risk mitigation practices to incorporate as part of their daily behavior. These practices can significantly minimize risks and reduce the probability of them or the company being exposed to liability or negative press.

Factual Communications – Participants learn to communicate information in an objective, professional and factual manner, without infusing emotion, hearsay, speculation, commentaries, jokes or opinions into their communications.

Positive Communications – Participants learn techniques to communicate negative information in a positive and neutral manner without distorting or misrepresenting the facts. These techniques also aid in creating and fostering a positive working environment.

Electronic Communications – Participants learn how electronic correspondence is retrieved and used as evidence in lawsuits, governmental investigations, administrative matters and internal disputes. They learn how formal and informal communications can be used against them and the company. They also learn to communicate and respond to electronic correspondence in a legally defensible manner.

Upon completion of LegalWATCH’s training, your management and key personnel will have a full appreciation of the legal process and a heightened awareness of how they can create liability through their conduct and communications.
