Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Connecticut

We will share best practices and how to respond to and protect your interests “WHEN THE GOVERNMENT COMES KNOCKING.” In this program, we will discuss what organizations need to consider when the government approaches you and also discuss various strategies to prepare for such situations.

Our legal and IT leaders, a former United States Attorney and a former Senior Network Analyst at a large financial institution, have spent their careers advising businesses, non-profits, and individuals on how to react and prepare ahead of time for government inquiries.

We will address such topics as subpoenas, civil investigation demands, legal hold notices, what constitutes privilege, the data perspective, and the role of a D&O Policy.

Join our experts from Harris Beach Murtha for a 1-hour webinar that will delve into this topic with you.
