Employees’ use of unapproved messaging platforms for business-related communications – and their employer’s failure to monitor and preserve such communications, even if inadvertent – may cause employers to fail to preserve relevant documents, and also cause them to provide incomplete responses to subpoenas, requests for information issued by prosecutors, enforcement staff, or private civil parties. Regulators have already imposed billions of dollars in penalties relating to this issue, as well as other significant (monetary and non-monetary) sanctions in civil litigation, and the government has suggested that failure to take appropriate steps to preserve messages could lead to criminal exposure.

In this session, Shari Brandt, Margaret Meyers, and Rachel Mechanic will discuss key steps that companies and individuals can take to comply with their legal obligations and reduce overall exposure.
