The event featured guest speaker Lou Chodoff, Esq. of Ballard Spahr LLP in Cherry Hill, who warned of the pitfalls and legal exposure in private and business emails and other forms of electronic communication and social media. At the meeting, more than 50 businesspeople listened intently to an informative, and sometimes unsettling, account of cases involving communications that result in litigation and ultimately, great cost to employers. ©The Hammonton Gazette Inc.
