Every day thousands of email messages are created as part of
any company’s business operations. Indeed, email has
become so commonplace that it is hard to imagine getting
along without it. The convenience of email has an infectious
appeal, and people are spending more and more time
sending, receiving and storing email. Email has quickly
replaced written documents, faxes, and even the telephone as
the primary communication conduit for most organizations.
But along with the convenience and ease of email comes
increased corporate risk. Email is essentially a “corporate
memory” of how any organization has conducted itself. For
trial lawyers email often represents the “smoking gun” that will
win their case or force a settlement. The essential questions
are: What does your email say about you, your company, and
the conduct of your employees? Would you be comfortable
having your email exposed in a court of law? What if your
email was monitored, tantamount to a retroactive wiretap on
your communications?
Let us help you understand the traps and benefits of
communicating with email. We craft e-messages to your
employees, your customers and your partners that will portray
you and your organization in a positive light, ensure your
message is accurately received, and protect your firm from
litigation.
