Recorded conversations are increasingly common in employment disputes and civil litigation, and Pennsylvania law creates unique risks for lawyers and clients alike. In this program, panelists will analyze Pennsylvania’s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act, including its application in the workplace and beyond. The program will address civil and criminal exposure, suppression issues and key statutory exceptions, including consent. Panelists will examine how the Act impacts litigation strategy when clients have recorded — or are considering recording — conversations, and how courts treat such evidence in employment disputes and other civil matters. The program also will explore emerging issues involving smartphones, video meetings, remote work platforms and employer monitoring policies. Attendees will gain practical guidance on advising employers and employees, assessing liability risks, and developing compliance and litigation strategies when recorded communications are at issue, including best practices for counseling clients before recordings occur.
