When plaintiffs' attorneys are preparing for product liability litigation against a manufacturer, one of the primary sources that they use to build a case is company documents - any written, printed, or electric item that contains information pertaining to a corporation and its operations. These types of documents have proven to be a key factor in numerous court decisions, particularly those resolved in the plaintiffs' favor. By taking measures when drafting and handling documents, manufacturers can reduce the risk of having problematic documents created and then used against them in future product liability litigation.

Join Reed Smith attorneys David Bickham and Melissa Geist for a one-hour teleseminar discussing the ways in which plaintiffs' attorneys obtain and use these company documents, and the steps that manufacturers can take to decrease the likelihood of problematic documents being created and then used as evidence in a product liability lawsuit. Among the topics that will be discussed are preliminary considerations, proper language/tone usage when drafting a document, and the attorney-client privilege.
