Event Synopsis:
Non-compete agreements and other forms of restrictive covenants are important in safeguarding a company's business assets, including intellectual properties, trade secrets and customer data. Non-compete agreements restrict former employees from working with the company's competitor or setting up one's own competitive business.
As more employers require their employees to sign non-compete agreements, disputes and litigation over the enforceability of these agreements have also increased. Employers may bring a lawsuit for alleged breach of contract and employees may question the agreement's validity or enforceability. The complexity and variation of law from one jurisdiction to another also makes non-compete litigation more challenging for counsel.
This course offers a discussion of non-compete agreements, and recent case law and regulatory updates that impact such agreements. A panel of thought leaders and practitioners brought together by The Knowledge Group will also offer techniques and strategies in defending and prosecuting a non-compete litigation.
Key topics include:
Non-Compete Agreements: Forms and Trends
Employer and Employee's Perspective
Non-Compete Oddities in Various States
Preparing for Litigation
Gathering Evidence
Assessing the Enforceability of a Non-compete
Cease and Desist letters
Seeking Injunctive Relief
Other Factors to Consider
Non-Compete Litigation: Defense and Prosecution
Trial Techniques, Litigation and Settlement Strategies
