Product Description

Discover the strategies necessary to manage your clients’ social media presence during litigation. Participants explore the risks that online activity poses to legal cases, including how social media posts can be used as evidence, impact public perception, and influence judicial proceedings. The session covers best practices for advising clients on content restrictions, privacy settings, and ethical considerations to prevent damaging disclosures while maintaining compliance with legal and ethical obligations.

We examine ways to strategically bolster a client’s image through social media, including proactive messaging, reputation management, and engagement with the public and press. Learn how to navigate high-profile cases, counter negative narratives, and leverage digital platforms to support case strategy. Whether dealing with civil or criminal litigation, this training provides essential tools for attorneys to safeguard clients’ interests in an increasingly digital world.
