The social networking phenomenon has only recently begun to catch the eye of legislators. However, the intricate web of copyright, privacy, and other laws do apply in some fashion. In addition, there has been an increasing wave of patchwork of federal and state law that will have significant repercussions for social networking clients.

Whether  you are creating or already maintaining a blog, a Facebook Fan Page for your company, Twittering about your offerings, or hosting a complete online networking platform for their business, it’s important to make sure anything you do online is in line with the most current legal standards

The problem is, that line is constantly shifting and changing as rapidly as the proliferation of exciting new social media tools and ways to promote your business across the Internet.

Because online networking is about what people say and do, many companies worry that they may be held liable for something a member, user, or commenter may say on their site.

At Legal Solutions Group, we make sure that you are in compliance and working under the protection of the acts that have been put in place to protect you and those who visit or interact with your website and social media pages. These include (but are not limited to):

• Protection Against Defamation: Communications Decency Act (CDA)
• Protection Against Copyright Infringement: Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

We also constantly monitor all rules developed on both the State and Federal level, to insure not only that you are in compliance, but that you and your products or services are protected from the acts of others in the online space.

Special Services for Lawyers:

As state Bar associations are currently grappling with the increasing number of lawyers who are establishing an online presence across many platforms as a means to promote their practices and firms, we remain constantly updated with the ruling or decisions from these Bars as they occur, and help law firms understand the rulings and how they apply to them, as well as help ensure the firms or solo practitioners become compliant with them.
