Contingency Planning: Are you Prepared for the Unexpected?
Life happens. Whether it’s an accident that leaves someone laid up in the hospital for two months, a life changing event or a sudden tragedy, unexpected things happen every day that change everything. The question is not if something will happen, it’s when. You can never be completed prepared for how a sudden event will change someone’s life, but you can prepare your business for the unexpected. Our experts will explain how to develop a contingency plan and the critical elements of that plan.
Objective:
Identify the elements of a successful contingency plan.
Audience Level: Intermediate
Speakers:

She was also the Chair of ABA TECHSHOW 2010.
Jeffrey S. Krause, Esq. is a Wisconsin attorney, legal technology and efficiency consultant with Affinity Consulting. He has worked with hundreds of legal organizations across the country and has spent the last twenty years helping other lawyers choose the right technology, use it the right way and run their law practice like a business.
