For lawyers, social media and Internet communications can be wonderful (getting hired), horrible (receiving a negative online review) or interminable (awaiting a response from a government agency). It's all part of a day's work. 

However, social media communications can be much more difficult for clients. Negative posts by an opponent can turn a basic business dispute into a reputational risk. An employment or family law matter may be far more difficult to resolve if old wounds are reopened online. The client's post might even undermine the entire deal or case. 

CNA is proud to add this new webinar series to its list of Lawyer's Professional Liability risk control programs. Offered in live webinar format on four dates throughout 2023, the program is eligible for the full per-attorney premium credit, up to 7.5% per firm.
