About This Seminar

Mobility in the workplace is the norm in every industry and profession. The people your company values most can suddenly become the people who represent the biggest threat. Sales people jump ship; will the customers follow? Product development staff take their smarts to a competitor; will you lose your competitive edge? Your company wants to bring in talent from a competitor; are you walking into a lawsuit? California provides substantial protection to employees; employers must understand their legal rights to fully protect the company's intellectual property and competitive edge.

In these informative sessions, intellectual property attorney Glenn Dickinson will discuss:

How to protect your company's interests when employees defect
What restrictions you can (and can’t) put on competition from ex-employees
How to use trade secrets law to minimize the damage
Confidentiality agreements and other procedures you should have in place to prepare for employee departures
Precautions to take when hiring from competitors

*Attendance is limited to no more than three people per company.
