Please join us for an intensive investigations-focused program following our annual Ounce of Prevention Seminar for Government Contractors.

This program will focus on managing the discovery of text and chat messages sent via personal and third-party messaging platforms, including the growing use of ephemeral messaging tools. We will discuss key considerations in preserving and discovering such data for litigation and investigations, including recent regulatory and caselaw updates, risks and challenges in overseeing such inquiries, and best practices for discovery, corporate compliance and planning. Given the DOJ, SEC and other agencies’ heightened scrutiny on message retention and control, the implications on cooperation credit and the increased risk of sanctions, this program will help legal and compliance professionals understand how to defensibly and efficiently manage these communications and inquiry responses.

Our experienced panel will discuss the potential legal and political exposure arising from those investigations, and how to mitigate that risk by establishing best practices for responding to agency and congressional investigations.
