IRISH BUSINESS LAW
If Your Business Is Sued
What do I do if my business has been sued?
- Call our offices, as we will have more information on what actions you should take next.
- Gather information in a reasonable order.
- Compile a list of phone numbers and addresses of interested parties and witnesses.
- Prepare a written statement of your position.
- Make photocopies of all documents and have originals or photocopies for our offices.
- Do not hide anything from your lawyer. The sharing of information relating to the case will be paramount in defending you.
- File an insurance claim, even if it appears as though the situation is not covered under your policy. This can save you and your attorney time and effort.
- Do not talk about the situation with anyone other than your attorney.
- Investigate the situation, if needed. In some employee-brought lawsuits (such as in sexual harassment lawsuits), an employer has a duty to investigate the claim.
- Find out how personally liable you are and call your lawyer about this aspect.
Create a defense plan and keep yourself informed of the situation.
