DILWORTH PAXSON LLP LAUNCHES #SOCIALMEDIA PRACTICE GROUP

(Philadelphia, PA November 12, 2014) Continuing a year of exciting momentum and bold innovation,
Dilworth Paxson LLP has expanded its client services with the formation of the #SocialMedia Practice
Group chaired by Partner Eric B. Meyer. The new practice group was announced today at Dilworths
educational program Social Media @Work: The #BalancingAct Between Employer and Employee,
moderated by Mr. Meyer and featuring top experts from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and the National Labor Relations Board. The event drew over 100 human resources
professionals, attorneys, and other business decision makers to the National Constitution Center in
Philadelphia.
The #SocialMedia Practice Group brings together a cross-section of distinguished Dilworth attorneys
with in-depth experience in Litigation, Labor & Employment, Intellectual Property, Securities, and Media
Law. The team will handle issues related to defamation, false light, First Amendment disputes,
intellectual property rights, and other litigation matters arising in the social media space, including those
involving electronic discovery and evidentiary issues. Additionally, Dilworth attorneys will advise on
disciplinary and termination decisions relating to employee use of social media; assist in drafting
workplace policies; and provide valuable counsel on social media compliance issues as well as noncompetition, non-solicitation, and trade secret considerations involving former employees.
At Dilworth, we understand the widespread use of social media, its viral effect, and its ever-growing
impact on the business community, and we are at the forefront of emerging social media issues in the
workplace, says Mr. Meyer. The #SocialMedia Practice Group will help clients roll with social medias
punches and provide counsel to help avoid any unexpected blows altogether.

Practice Group, and Co-Chair of the Pro Bono Committee. He publishes The Employer Handbook
