Modern Approaches to Employee Mobility, Information Safeguards and Competitive Advantage

Trade secret law is evolving faster than most businesses can keep pace with — and the stakes have never been higher. 
 
Join Fisher Phillips for our sixth annual, two-part webinar series that brings together some of our leading practitioners in an interactive format to address the issues reshaping how companies protect their most valuable information. 

We will examine the latest fault lines in trade secret litigation, covering everything from evidentiary battles over injunctive relief to building airtight damages cases. We'll then offer a practical deep dive into which company witnesses you should deploy, and why, in trade secret and restrictive covenant cases. We will also tackle the dual challenge of AI — both as an emerging vehicle for trade secret theft and as a tool for protecting confidential information. And as the legal landscape around non-compete agreements continues to shift, we will explore the full toolkit available to employers, from creative retention structures to enforceable confidentiality programs. Because where employees live and work can make or break a noncompete, we'll also examine how geography shapes enforceability for remote workers, how to craft effective choice-of-law provisions, and when relocating employees to more enforcement-friendly jurisdictions is a strategic move — all critical questions in an era of remote and mobile workforces.

Whether you are on the front lines of trade secret litigation or advising your internal clients on how to prevent the fight in the first place, this program will deliver actionable insight you can use immediately.
