To learn more, the Maitland business litigation risk management attorneys at The Hornsby Law Group are here to answer your questions and to help you with an early case assessment to get ahead of the problem before it is too late.
What is Risk Mitigation?
Certain businesses are at risk of being sued. In fact, all businesses, for various reasons, have the potential to be taken to court. Maybe a product manufactured by the company is defective. Maybe the company is violating state laws and the owner is unaware they are doing so. Maybe shareholder reports are inaccurate, or the business violated intellectual property law. Risk management is the process of assessing a business’s risk of being sued by an employee, customer, officer, vendor, state or federal agency, shareholder, or any other party. After the completion of a risk assessment, an attorney will come up with a list of solutions to minimize the risk of litigation in the future.
