I had a lawyer consult me on a similar--but more litigious--situation as
a SME.  I wrote a detailed report enumerating what could be done and how,
but pointed out that Omar Khayyam summed it up more succinctly long ago:

   Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit
   Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
   Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
