Potential Litigants Should Not Destroy Documents
No one wants to be sued, especially by a former employer. But former employees may find themselves embroiled in litigation over the alleged breach of an employment contract or the purported violation of a covenant not to compete. If a former employee has reason to believe he may be sued, he should preserve all potentially relevant documents, including all e-mail communications and all documents saved in electronic files.
Pre-suit collection of documents can be essential to a party’s case. First and foremost, a litigant usually needs documents to prove a case. Second, compiling relevant documents can help a potential litigant’s attorney evaluate the matter and determine the best course of action. Finally, should a lawsuit be filed, the opposing party will likely request that the former employee produce copies of all relevant documents. This request could come months after a person leaves an employer. By compiling and organizing all documents at the outset, the former employee will likely be able to conduct a more thorough search, leading to a more complete production.
