A weekly newsletter from SideNote.ai
Two editions — pick one or both
The cautionary tale that lands in your inbox — so yours doesn't land in a courtroom.
Every week we dig up a real, documented message that got someone in trouble — a Slack, an email, a text that ended up as Exhibit A — and break down exactly what went sideways and the version that would have been perfectly fine. Equal parts cautionary tale and free continuing education. Read it before you hit send.
The Workplace edition of Before You Hit Send: a weekly true-story breakdown for HR leaders and general counsel, dissecting the everyday messages — performance reviews, reply-alls, group-chat "jokes" — that turned into employment claims, and the five-second rewrite that would have changed everything.
The Dealroom edition of Before You Hit Send: a weekly true-story breakdown for antitrust counsel, deal teams, and M&A bankers, tracing the emails and texts that crossed the line from "planning" into coordination — and showing exactly where that line sits.
