The dreaded “knock on the door” arrives – someone with a badge, a gun and a search warrant arrives at your office looking for mountains of documents and files in a government investigation. Or, a strange document called a “subpoena duces tecum” arrives in your mail. Or perhaps a federal investigator shows up on your biller’s doorstep one evening asking questions. What next? Are your employees compelled to speak to the agents? What documents must be turned over and what documents are protected by legal privileges? Can they take my computers, hard drives or other equipment? What are the consequences for not complying with a subpoena or search warrant? This session will help your agency formulate a comprehensive “response plan” should that unpleasant day come.
