Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorneys, Jennifer M. Ballard and Tom H. Luetkemeyer, will be featured speakers at a Hinshaw Complimentary Breakfast Roundtable on the topic "An Employer's Guide to Maneuvering Through the Social Networking Minefield," on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m., at Hinshaw's headquarter office in Chicago, Illinois. For those who cannot attend in person, this discussion will be broadcast over the Internet. Information on how to access the webcast is available upon request.
The use of social networking websites has increased exponentially over the last few years. Employers are not only faced with a decrease in productivity, but also with a host of other legal issues. The focus of this discussion will be the legal considerations employers need to contemplate in dealing with their employees' use of social networking sites, including misconduct, harassment, discrimination, and disclosure of confidential company information, to name a few.
