What Companies Need to Know About the Legal Risks of Business Blogging September 9, 2009

Companies are increasingly launching blogs to advertise and promote their businesses. While the benefits of adopting a business blog can be extensive, companies may also face legal consequences if they start posting to a blog without first having a good understanding of the legal issues they may encounter through their activities. This program is designed to educate companies on what they need to know about the legal risks of business blogging.
