Social Media

In addition to advising on conventional and routine employment law aspects, ANA Law Group’s employment team keeps up with the emerging issues in the workplace, and assist clients in handling all the legal challenges for more than workplace, which includes social media, employees’ usage of employer’s IT platforms for personal needs, employee monitoring, etc.

Companies across the globe are accepting social media, networking sites and blogs as tools for client development and service, research, recruitment, branding, etc. Despite these significant benefits, social media use is also a challenge for the employers. We regularly advise our clients on office policies relating to monitoring and regulating the employees’ social media use, use of information obtained through social media in hiring, promotion, discipline and other decisions, and the challenges of social media in litigation. For instance, we assist the clients in:

• Preparing policies to guide the employees’ acceptable use of social media, as well as internal protocols for management.
• Advising on strategies for restricting cyber-smearing and non-disparagement in social media.
• Advising on and preparing policies to avoid misleading endorsement of company products and services.
