Is Your Company Ready For A Government Raid?

Respected corporations often see a government search warrant as a disaster that happens to hardened wrongdoers, but the circumstances leading to a search warrant may be beyond the control of well-intentioned corporations. Because the possibility is real and mistakes have a lasting impact, more corporations are planning for the possibility of a search warrant, beyond just having a telephone list of outside counsel qualified to take the first call or a general check list in a file. The plan can include immediate actions to take upon the arrival of agents, how to properly interact with agents during the search, how to address efforts to conduct interviews of employees, and other actions to take or not during the search and immediately after the agents depart.
