Practical advice based on BL’s policies and procedures as well as things
that might be helpful in your life outside BL.
This issue’s tip is near and dear to the Legal Department’s heart –
be careful what you put in an e-mail message!
Contrary to what you may think, e-mail is NOT private and can easily be disclosed in a claim situation.
Reread your e-mail
before sending. Is the
message spelled
correctly? Does it
make sense?
Consider this
setting: Outlook
File
Options
Mail
Click: Always check spelling
before sending
OK
Would you want
everyone on the project
team to see this e-mail? If
not, perhaps a phone call
would be better.
