Lamoureux, a prominent business and employment lawyer and leading voice on social and digital media law, will be a featured speaker on “Social Media Conduct and Content” for the American Society of Appraisers/Boston Chapter’s webinar on Tuesday, February 2, beginning at noon.

A clear view and a cautioned approach can help you avoid unintended negative consequences,” said Attorney Lamoureux. “With the current spotlight on Big Tech, censorship, and the role of social media in society, I look forward to exploring these topics with the American Society of Appraisers and discussing how its members can implement best practices when using social media.”
