New Social Media White Paper and Seminar
Last Thursday, Reed Smith and Boyden Executive Search Agencies co-sponsored a well attended seminar in our New York offices where Douglas J. Wood, head of Reed Smith’s Media & Entertainment Industry Group, Sarah Needleman from The Wall Street Journal, and Kathy Ewing, assistant general counsel at Benjamin Moore, discussed the legal, social and economic implications of the social media and social networking revolution.
If you missed the event, don't fret. We have three MCLE-friendly seminars planned in our California offices on December 8th and 9th (details below) to discuss an industry-leading white paper that we just released entitled: Network Interference: A Legal Guide to the Commercial Risks and Rewards of the Social Media Phenomenon. The white paper, which includes contributions form our social media task force consisting of Reed Smith lawyers across many disciplines affected by or involved in the social media revolution, is an interdisciplinary piece that explores the compliance and litigation risks of social media from a broad spectrum of topics, including advertising, data privacy, employment, government contracts, product liability and securities. This is a must read for anyone working in (or merely intrigued by) the world of social media.
As mentioned, we will be hosting a seminar entitled: It's 10:00p.m., Do You Know Where Your Brand Is? The discussion will include:
- Best practices for corporate engagement in social media;
- How to approach workplace policies;
- The current and potential legal landscape evolving around social media platforms;
- Case studies -- social media successes and failures;
- Highlights of Network Interference: A Legal Guide to the Commercial Risks and Rewards of the Social Media Phenomenon; and much more.
Joe Rosenbaum and Anthony Traymore will be speaking at the seminar, and for those with law degrees looking to satisfy their mandatory continuing legal education requirements, you will receive MCLE credit. The times and dates of the seminar are as follows:
