Braden Perry, a litigation, regulatory and government investigations attorney with Kennyhertz Perry, LLC was one of several experts that spoke with Business News Daily on the first steps to take if your company has been sued. Perry said that you should check the caption and service information on the lawsuit to ensure that it contains the proper entity or person associated with the issues. If this information is incorrect in any way, you may move to dismiss the action in its entirety. If it is correct, you should proceed with reviewing the allegations and put a litigation hold, or preservation order, in place. This requires the company to preserve all data that may relate to the legal action.
