OCBA Member John Isaza of Rimon, P.C. has been appointed Co-Chair of the Social Media Subcommittee of the ABA Business Law Section’s Cyberspace Law Committee.

Along with co-chair Valerie Surgenor, a renowned privacy attorney in Europe from the law firm MacRoberts LLP out of Scotland, he has been tasked with developing recommended policies for social media that balance the interests of the employer and the employee, as well as examining the threat of cyber security to corporate governance and corporate strategy, including areas such as corporate advertising and astroturfing in social media, chasing social media driven securities fraud, and how to address, in a practical setting, the impact of social media on reputational matters, potential financial consequences and investor confidence whether as prevention or after the event.

Congratulations to Isaza on this well-deserved achievement.
