Jennings, Strouss & Salmon labor and employment attorney John J. Egbert is featured in a Phoenix Business Journal article entitled, "What Steve Nash’s divorce can teach businesses, workers about social media." The article discusses the precedents Steve Nash's divorce case may have set in terms of how social media is used and how it can impact legal contracts, business and employment agreements.

“We are starting to see provisions in the employment context — employment contracts, severance/settlement agreements — which expressly attempt to address the parties’ use of social media,” Egbert said
