Hot Topics in Employee Defection and Trade Secrets: Spotlight on Tennessee

Join Fisher Phillips for a webinar focused on how employers in Tennessee can prevent departing employees from poaching customers and current employees from using confidential information and trade secrets to benefit competitors. The webinar will take the form of an interview with local practitioners Greg Grisham and Joe Shelton, to promote a conversational exchange of ideas that is highly practical for employers doing business in Tennessee. It will explore important circumstantial, legal, and regulatory concepts, including:

• The nature of current state laws, and how they create an environment that is relatively favorable for employers seeking to implement and enforce non-compete programs.
• Key details informing how non-compete agreements must be structured to pass muster before Tennessee courts, and in the eyes of employees and prospective employees.
• Other restrictive covenants that may be utilized in circumstances where non-compete agreements may be overly broad or perceived as lacking reasonableness.
• Practical steps that employers in Tennessee can take to guard against theft of sensitive information.

Attendees will come away prepared to confidently confront the legal and regulatory environment around restrictive covenants on a national level and in Tennessee specifically, and to protect their vital business interests.
