Details:
This course addresses the impact of social networking on businesses. Regardless of their specific practice area, attorneys should be aware of the risks of social media faced by clients. Specifically, the variety of employment issues, including the use of SNS for pre-employment screening, potential harassment and discrimination claims that can result from employees’ use of these sites, as well as the risks to trade secrets and confidential company information. There are also intellectual-property issues that are linked to the increasing popularity of the sites. For example, there are potential infringement and ownership issues that can occur when employees generate content on behalf of their organization for its use online, as well as the potential for defamation claims and improper disclosures of private information. This session reviews these issues and provides best-practices examples to avoid risks whenever possible.

This year, Adria B. Martinelli and I will be speaking at the Advanced Employment Issues Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 11-12.  If you can't join us in Vegas in November, maybe you can swing a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, where the Advanced Employment Issues Symposium will be presented on September 30-October 1. 

The Advanced Employment Issues Symposium is in it's 15th year and is recognized as one of the leading employment-law conferences for forward-thinking human resource professionals, executives, and in-house counsel. This year, there are three featured tracks: Employment Law Enforcement; FMLA & ADA; and Talent Management. 

Registration for the Employment Issues Symposium is open now, with early-registration discounts until March 31.  If you aren't able to attend either of this year's programs, you can order the materials from the registration website, as well.

Hope to see you then!
