Why Train?
Organizations have always been challenged with legal
compliance issues. Yet it is a recent phenomenon that courts, administrative bodies and
stakeholders have come to expect and often require proactive training measures to confront, address
and solve legal compliance concerns.
Seyfarth Shaw at Work is dedicated to collaborating with organizations of all
sizes to customize a legal compliance training course or program that is not only instructive on
legal issues, but practical, memorable and valuable.
Every day organizations walk the tightrope of legal liability. One misplaced step by
any member of an organization not only can lead to the prohibitive cost of litigation and the
threat of enormous civil judgments, personal liability and criminal penalties, but can affect
productivity, absenteeism, morale and an organization’s reputation. It is therefore
imperative for organizations to take proactive steps to ensure a respectful, non-discriminatory and
legally compliant workplace.
Effective legal compliance training is the ultimate proactive solution. Not only is
effective training a preventive measure against legal missteps, but it also provides a demonstrated
foundation for defense in the event that claims do arise against an organization. Further
effective training reduces the likelihood of legal or business disputes by creating a workplace
culture that is safe, respectful, productive and fully compliant.
We are committed to delivering highly effective training programs to all levels of your
organization, which not only help protect your company against future liability and exposure to
litigation, but also help build a productive work environment where all employees are valued and
respected. Our legal compliance programs are not only created to help build and support your
available affirmative, reasonable care and good faith defenses, but are often designed and/or
modified in connection with court ordered consent decrees and other compliance actions by federal
enforcement agencies. In fact, many organizations have utilized our training as an effective
legal and defense building mechanism both prior to and during litigation.
The bottom line is that an organization’s legal defenses require not only that compliant and
engaging, policy-driven trainings be conducted, but that these trainings be effective.
Effective training must have an impact on and be meaningful to executives, managers and employees,
and provide them with an opportunity to practice and acquire successful workplace skills.
