SAN FRANCISCO – March 15, 2016 – Allen Matkins, a California-based full service real estate and business law firm, congratulates Labor & Employment partner Alexander Nestor for being named a 2016 "Top Author" as part of JD Supra's first-annual Readers' Choice Awards, recognizing authors for the excellent visibility and engagement they attained with readers in specific industries. Alex was recognized in the Broadcast Media Industry for his work as the lead author on the firm's Social Media & Employment Law blog, the California employer's resource for workplace social media issues.

"The ever-growing prevalence of social media in people’s daily lives and the business community means that employers must remain vigilant about the various issues this phenomenon can raise in the workplace," says Alex, a partner in Allen Matkins' San Francisco office. "Our blog aims to touch on many of the trending issues associated with social media in the workplace with timely and insightful posts. Being recognized by a content platform as prominent as JD Supra proves there is a strong interest and need for clarification regarding the ever-evolving law in this area." The Social Media & Employment Law blog is co-authored by Allen Matkins attorney Allison Shrallow, also in the firm's San Francisco office.

The Readers’ Choice Awards recognize Top Authors being read by C-suite executives, in-house counsel, media and other professionals across its platform during 2015. JD Supra editors chose the 36 industries and topics covered in these first-annual Awards for their timeliness as well as their proven, ongoing importance. In each category, the editors recognize the ten authors with the consistently highest readership and engagement within that category for all of 2015. In total, across all 36 categories, JD Supra recognized the excellence and achievement of 200 authors selected from over 34,000 who publish their substantive work on our platform.
