Jonathan Armstrong, partner in the Corporate Practice Group in Duane Morris' London office, wrote this article on the potential risks to law firms' reputations and confidential information posed by employees' use of social networking sites and other communications technologies. Armstrong gives examples of controversies resulting from the spread of internal information via Facebook, Twitter, Wikileaks, email and phishing attacks, and describes steps to limit exposure to such risks. He also recommends pre-emptively establishing response plans to handle any potential incident.
