Lawyers are risk-averse, right? Dentons Wasn't Enough of That on Social
As careful as lawyers are, law firm Dentons wound up in trouble because of social media posting associated with Israel. Here are more details from Law.com.
What has happened since the Hamas attack on Israel is the hardening of two cultures.
One is okay opining on social media and actually needs to in order to promote its branding, products/services. That tribe is all over LinkedIn et al.
The other should steer clear of the social networks. It has the resources to create other less volatile platforms for everything from a point of view to how-tos to analysis of subject matter. Dentons is in this group. It should have known better. It has pulled the post.
Meanwhile, another law firm - Paul Weiss - has been playing it smart, at least so far. Here is the eloquent statement messaged internally throughout the firm by its chair Brad Karp:
“For now, while we watch the horror unfolding from afar, our thoughts are with the State and people of Israel and we pray that our support of these organizations will make a difference on the ground ... And, as with past humanitarian and traumatic crises, we intend to do everything we possibly can to provide relief to those desperately in need.”
That is likely to align with the ethos of most of its client base.
