Ashley H. Campbell and Jon David (“J.D.”) Hensarling, lawyers in the trial department of Raleigh’s Ragsdale Liggett PLLC, currently represent the plaintiff in one of the largest accountants’ malpractices cases in the country. Together, they will discuss the current legal landscape for accountants malpractice actions, including the legal and political trends favoring auditor liability to third parties. Both have extensive experience in the emerging area of electronic discovery and will share with lawyers and accountants tips for dealing with electronically stored information (“ESI”) and other client information so as not to run afoul of new legal requirements. Using the legal scandals currently affecting the accounting profession like the Bernie Madoff affair as examples, the presentation will be highly interactive and entertaining.
