Program Description
Does your credit union wait until a masked gunman is at the counter before it plans how to react when a robbery occurs?

Do you really need a disaster plan if your credit union has never been damaged by a hurricane, flood, earthquake, or fire?

Of course you plan before problems like those occur!  But has your credit union planned the steps it will take when you have been sued -- or when a suit appears likely?

As with other disasters, the initial steps your credit union takes in the moments and days following the threat or service of a lawsuit can cause you to save or lose tens of thousands of dollars and hours of work.  Shouldn't you plan now -- before this type of disaster occurs -- so that you know what you should and shouldn't do?

During this June 21, 2007, NorthLegal Webinar, Eric North -- a credit union attorney with more than 20 years experience prosecuting and defending lawsuits involving credit unions-- spoke with credit union professionals from across the country regarding:

How a real lawsuit (not just a collection suit) works, and how understanding the procedure will help your credit union.
Five things your credit union can do now -- before a lawsuit occurs -- to protect against unnecessary cost.
Four vital steps your credit union should take in the hours or moments following notice that a lawsuit has (or is likely to be) filed.
Two mistakes some credit unions make that can have disastrous results!
How to get the most bang for your insurance buck.
What you can do to help your attorney help you.

and much more!

Don't wait until mistakes have been made and opportunities have been lost to develop a Litigation Defense Plan!
