10/18/2009 Web Based E-Mail: Businesses Beware
   

October 18, 2009 (Mountain View, CA) – Robert Brownstone, Law & Technology Director and co-chair of the Electronic Information Management Practice Group at Fenwick & West LLP, was quoted in the Business Week article "Web Based E-Mail: Businesses Beware."

The article discusses the potential pitfalls of businesses utilizing free or low costs email services containing essential information. Brownstone offered insight into the possible legal ramifications a business could encounter by using these services. "If messages containing information valuable to a client or customer are lost, you can be sued under a number of legal theories. Furthermore, if they need the information and it has value, they can sue you, claiming you didn't exercise reasonable care," Brownstone stated.

The article may be read in its entirety on the Business Week website.
