Legal Commentary

During my recent trip to Minnesota, the Thomson Reuters Legal team invited me to tape another episode of its Legal Currents podcast.

Moderator Leonard Lee and I had a lively interaction, discussing my cover story, "Risks & Rewards," in the May issue of LTN. The article, and our conversation, focused on the importance of nuanced social media policies for just about any organization. We talked about the potential problems law firms and companies can face, if personnel use social media inappropriately -- from violations of professional responsibility and ethics rules or Federal Trade Commission guidelines; to damage to reputation and branding; to harassment; and more.

And if you missed ALM's "Social Media: Risk & Rewards" programs in New York and San Francisco, no worries! We will be offering an advanced program November 3 in New York.
