Preconference IV



Dangerous Documents: Finding Land Mines In Your FDA Records and Emails




8:00 a.m.





Guidant, Merck, Bayer, Eli Lilly, and American Home Products were sued. During discovery, they were forced to produce their employees' emails and other documents that they thought were confidential. These documents contained inflammatory statements that embarrassed the companies. They had to enter into expensive settlements. If your employees haven't been trained on how to write complete, accurate emails and documents that show the depth of your corporate culture of compliance, your firm could be subject to a similar costly result. This preconference provides actual examples and practical advice about how to avoid problems before they occur, and correct mistakes before they happen. Using actual case studies the preconference session explains:
  • How to write informative documents that don't make you a target
  • How to avoid land mines in wording and presentation
  • How documents tell the story of the corporate culture
  • The dangers in not monitoring employees' emails
  • The risks of leaving blanks and using white-out in required records
  • How to distinguish between fact and opinion
  • Why it is crucial to follow a document retention program
