About the webinar

Professional security service companies often face unexpected liability from third parties with whom they have no contract and to whom they have made no assurances. They can find themselves unwittingly accepting a client’s own liability for injuries sustained by their officers in the course of duty despite the protections of the workers compensation statutes. They can also face claims from persons who claim armed guards were improperly trained. This webinar provides contact and training strategies, including the inclusion of arbitration provisions in security officer employment contracts that help prevent these types of unexpected liability while still allowing guard services companies to provide the services that their clients demand.
