Adam Bialek (Partner-New York) weighed in on the changes necessary for compliance as the internet has affected the way individuals communicate and how business is conducted. In "Protecting Your Rights and Assets While Minimizing Exposure," which appeared in the August 2018 edition of DRI's For the Defense, Adam points out that companies have been slow to recognize how advances in technology can drive new legal risks.
