Originally published Summer 2007

While most people are honest most of the time, most of us are likely to have the misfortune of crossing paths with dishonest people in our lifetime. A rogue may misappropriate your company funds or assets, departing employees may take confidential information and use it in new employment with your competitors or set up competing businesses, you may be the subject of corporate espionage or counterfeiters may knock-off your goods and sell them at rock bottom prices. If you are the target of such activities, it will expose your business to substantial loss and give rise to legal claims.
