In the IT, tech, and telecom industries, employees’ knowledge, customer relationships, and intellectual property are often the company’s most valuable assets. At the same time, mobility, side projects, and consulting assignments increase the risks of competing business, disloyal conduct, and the dissemination of trade secrets.
In this webinar, you will receive a clear and practical overview of how competing business and trade secrets should be managed. We will cover the duty of loyalty during employment, rules regarding secondary employment, and how and when non-compete clauses are applied correctly and reasonably. The focus is on practical application, risk assessment, and common pitfalls, so that you as an employer can act proactively, legally, and effectively.
Objectives and Purpose of the Course
The purpose of this webinar is to give you increased confidence in protecting your company’s business-critical information and handling situations where employees act, or risk acting, in violation of their duty of loyalty.
