Brooks Pierce attorneys Eric David and Jessi Thaller-Moran presented on social media defamation and employment policy at the Association of Corporate Counsel’s (ACC) Research Triangle Area Chapter Continuing Legal Education (CLE) event. The event was held on Nov. 13 at the Sheraton Imperial in Durham, NC.

The presentation, “Minding Others’ Business: Navigating Gossip, Defamation, and Employee Use of Social Media,” covered how businesses can manage their online reputations within the confines of the law and what boundaries employers face when designing their social media policies or policing employee social media usage.
