In today’s business climate, thorough background investigations and due diligence are critical to your company’s ability to make informed decisions. With the surge of social media and online activity in recent years, it is also necessary to understand the online reputation and overall web presence of an individual in addition to their personal and professional backgrounds.
The use of social media continues to expand in business and social contexts, and that its importance is increasing in litigation. It is notable that social media evidence is already a core component of eDiscovery evidence collection efforts by most lawyers and practitioners. Social networking sites have grown from a few thousand users to more than a billion. These sites have become a preferred form of electronic communication, surpassing email in 2009.
Social media is everywhere. Nearly everyone uses it. Litigants who understand social media–and its benefits and limitations– can immeasurably help their clients resolve disputes.
