RISK MANAGEMENT

My clients need this.I can get into

trouble for this.

I need this for proof.

E-Discovery on this

heap would cost a

fortune.

What we don’t have

can’t be used

against us.

@To

@To

mm

yV

andepitte

5. VALUE OF EVIDENCE

All proof is created

equal,

@To

mm

yV

andepitte

What has to be proven against whom?

but some proof

is more equal

than other.

FactsIn criminal cases Against merchants

Against non-

merchants

For claims over a

certain amount

Against

“authenticated”

facts “Documents to rule them all.”

For “legal actions”

by the counterparty

What did

the evidence

prove?

BLACK I S BLACK

SO…

Risk is a function of

- Number of files

- Probability of conflict

- Probability of dispute on proof

- Probability of risk of proof in our camp

- Probability of burden of proof in our camp

- Probability that at that time we will not be able to produceevidence

- that is not outweighted and

- that actually proves what the discussion is about

- Value of the case when lost (average / outliers)
