Sessions

Business people tend to see the opportunities that social media creates for them while lawyers see risks. The correct approach is to neither ignore the risks nor be paralyzed by them, but to navigate them.

Particular attention will be paid to possible terms of a social media policy where NLRB decisions loom large. Identify practical solutions that minimize (not eliminate) the risks so you can still run your business without ending up in the NLRB’s cross-hairs. Finally, explore the benefits and risks of friending, linking in and tweeting.
