Social media presents many dilemmas in the business and legal world. Given the global nature of corporate business, the use of social media compels U.S. lawyers with international clientele to have an understanding of both U.S. and other jurisdictions. Handbook on Global Social Media Law for Business Lawyers discusses social media laws and related governance principally in the United States, with an examination of key global regions including Canada, the European Union, Australia and Asia.
