When
(and Before) You're Sued
A NorthLegal Webinar
Recorded June 21, 2007
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!
