Social Media Essentials - an update for busy in-house lawyers
Whether you’re social media savvy or social media shy, online interactions have become a fact of life. Navigating the social media maze can seem overwhelming, so how can organisations and individuals get the most out of their online profiles while avoiding the risks?
John MacKenzie, Partner at Shepherd & Wedderburn LLP, and Sara Scott, ILC Vice Convener and avid social media user, will take us through important developments in the world of social media including:
What is social media these days? Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are the best known social media platforms, but what are the others that we need to know about?
Focusing on LinkedIn and Twitter, how might you use it most effectively for your organisation and your career? We will cover the Law Society’s social media initiatives and how you can contribute.
What are the risks when you and your colleagues use social media platforms? After you have your social media policy in place, what next?
Business opportunities flowing from the use of data generated through social media interactions.
This seminar is free to attend for in-house lawyers.
