Security Checks In order to ensure that contraband, drugs, weapons or unauthorized or illegal substances for illegal purposes do not enter Venable premises, and to further ensure that Venable files or equipment are not being removed without authorization, Venable reserves the right, in its discretion, to question, inspect, and search any employee or other person before they enter or leave and while they are on Venable premises, or performing work on our behalf outside of the Firm’s premises. This also applies to all vehicles, containers, briefcases, handbags, and other parcels and personal belongings of employees that are subject to inspection and search at any time.
