Event Overview

Please join us September 9, 2008, for the next AeA Orange County HR Roundtable: Dangerous Documents - What you don't know CAN hurt you! at EADS North America Test & Services, Irvine, CA. This breakfast program will address how common documents, including, employment-related documents, have the potential to come back to haunt you, and what steps you can take today to avoid tomorrow’s headaches. We will present some key challenges and approaches to this issue and offer tips on how you can avoid simple errors that can lead to costly lawsuits.

Who Should Attend…
This program is designed for senior level managers and HR personnel who need:

• Effective strategies for identifying and addressing legal risks created by your company’s documentation process.
• Employee policies to ensure your staff understands corporate email is not entitled to privacy protection.
• Legal recommendations on how to win litigation if these methods fail.

Topics to be discussed, led by Bruce May, Partner at Stradling, Yocca, Carlson, & Rauth and Dale Hudson, Counsel at Nixon Peabody, include the following:

• What dangerous documents exist in your company’s files?
• Which documents are the most trouble? How can you avoid turning your company’s documents into dangerous documents?
• What tools can you provide your managers to help them comply with legal do’s and don’ts?
• How emails have become a company’s nightmare and a lawyer’s dream. What can your company do to minimize legal risks created by emails? With email and other computer-generated records among the most dangerous of company records, we will examine best practices for handling these. While often written hastily as a substitute for a telephone
  call, recent legal developments have shown that email can be used in litigation in ways and with interpretations never intended by the author.
