Facebook & LinkedIn: Seek Connections, Not Legal Advice
with IGNITER Jennifer Owen
Session Description:
Facebook and LinkedIn are perfect for making professional and personal connections, but not always the best when seeking advice on matters of multifamily. There are several pitfalls associated with seeking advice online when it should be directed to your legal counsel, such as leaving yourself open to a hefty lawsuit. This session will provide various examples of social media posts that seek advice from their professional network and explore better ways to handle the situation and where one should direct their questions.
During this session you will learn:
- How to differentiate between best practices, legal information, and legal advice
- The pitfalls of using unreliable sources for legal issues
- Guidelines for evaluating a scenario and realizing potential legal implications
