  • Anticipating clients’ legal issues related to social media and evolving technology
  • Counseling clients on privacy concerns, data security and protection from external threats
  • Addressing insurance options to protect clients from cyber-risk

We counsel clients on how to leverage and minimize risks of workplace technology. With the prevalence of social media and increased use of mobile technology, employers face increased liability as they and their employees integrate these tools into the workplace. Our attorneys draw on their experience across multiple disciplines including Civil Litigation, Employment & Labor and Intellectual Property to address clients’ digital technology concerns.

We assist employers by completing audits and evaluating current practices, implementing preventive programs and keeping companies abreast of new developments. The following are some of the services that DBL can offer:

Corporate Readiness
Employers face ever-growing concerns that arise from the use of social media and other technology. Companies must address workplace efficiency and implement practices to avoid possible governmental penalties or even litigation. We can assist employers by:

  • Developing and training on comprehensive social media policies to address productivity, electronic communication, equipment use, and other employment and labor implications
  • Addressing regulations related to digital media that arise from the NLRB, EEOC, BWC and other governing bodies
  • Evaluating remote workforce practices for wage and hour laws, workplace safety, labor laws, competition and trade secret concerns
  • Understanding geoprivacy concerns in businesses due to growing utilization of GPS technology

Workplace Technology
With the increase of cloud computing, use of third party services/ equipment and multiplying privacy concerns, our attorneys will address the impact of technology in the workplace by:

  • Auditing and reviewing websites and other technology media for copyright, trademarks, privacy policies and terms of use
  • Evaluating privacy vulnerabilities with employee and client data, inadvertent disclosures, online data publishing and other privacy issues
  • Reviewing agreements related to licensing, product acquisition, hosting, e-commerce, cloud computing and other technology contracts and services

Litigation Avoidance and Preparation
While every effort is given to reduce corporate risk, there have been a growing number of recent legal complaints related to digital media and workplace practices. We are equipped to represent employers in a variety of case issues including:

  • Addressing E-discovery related to employer and personal computing use, including smart phones
  • Minimizing cyber-liability that arises from infringement of intellectual property, security breaches, and other concerns that may result from online technology
  • Limiting defamation and libel concerns that arise from social media
