Every day, we write casual emails, meeting minutes and sticky notes, never anticipating that an FDA inspector or other third party will read them.  But these are exactly the types of correspondences that are often used to determine an organization's overall compliance profile.

And thanks to product liability lawyers, these notes also need to be defensible…from criminal actions and lawsuits. A simple and harmless phrase such as "This will negatively impact our bottom line," can be the key piece of evidence against you in a product liability case.

But you don't need to be afraid to write your next email. Join us on Nov. 13-14 for a two-day intensive workshop.
