Hi Stephen
Could you confirm that email is legally binding (in all states)? Say a text-based NDA between two parties/email addresses.
And if so, is there any need to use a digital document signing platform?
Thanks

Hi Stephen,
What are the rules around purchasing and posting celebrity images on a branded Facebook page?
Stock library websites state images must not be used for editorial or advertising purposes, but does this count for social media?

Hi Stephen
My question relates to social media.
Can you please provide an example of a company that has handled negative community feedback very poorly, and one that has handled it very well? Specific interest in the area of health. What is your advice in this space?
Thanks

Someone has accused the committee of a group i help manage of conducting “dodgy dealings” and acting “illegally” (untrue) in private messages via facebook to one of our members. They have also acted in an absive manner to the same member who is a minor (14y.o.) What action can be taken on the 1st point (defamation/slander) and on the second.
Thanks
