The Best Defence is a Good Offence.

Many clients have told us that they are tired of being on the defensive in lawsuits.

They worry about the accusations that they have done something wrong and suffer the indignities of having their actions pulled apart and criticized.

There is absolutely no need to feel as if your back is up against the wall.

Most organizations do “the right thing” but just don’t know how to go about proving it.

The answer lies in using the weapon of DUE DILIGENCE.

Due Diligence in a litigation situation means that you have done what is “reasonable” “under all of the circumstances” and can be an absolute defence which totally defeats a claim.

Here are some of the things you should know about Due Diligence:

• It works to absolve the proponent of blame in even absolute liability quasi-criminal situations;
• The onus of proof is on the proponent. You have to be proactive and aggressive to make it work!
• As a minimum, you need “The Three P’s™” - a Policy, a set of Procedures and Proof that the procedures have been followed;
• It can be established in advance by following The Fourteen Point Formula™;
• Standards and practices should be “blessed” in advance by a forensic expert.
