Please join the Mile High Chapter Education Committee at our November monthly luncheon.  Kathryn Scourby, CBCP - Principal at KNS Consulting, LLC will present on "A Law Firm’s Competitive Edge:  Writing Business Continuity Plans."

We all know that a comprehensively written business continuity plan is an essential part of your firm's business continuity program. Is your current plan gathering dust on a shelf? Are you struggling to put together a written plan that not only prepares your firm in the event of a disaster but also meets client compliance and audit requirements? What about request for proposal (RFP) guidelines? If so, then this session is for you. This hands-on session is for managers in firms of any size.

We'll work through a checklist of key components that should be a part of every written business continuity plan. You'll also receive a template that you can bring back to your office and customize for your firm.

Session Objectives:

• Explain the importance of having a written business continuity plan.
• Discuss why compliance issues, multiple client audits and RFP requests have changed the playing field for business continuity in the legal field.
• Identify the essential elements of a comprehensive business continuity plan.

Apply the techniques discussed by completing a template that can be used by your office to write or enhance your firm's business continuity plan.
