Planning for Betrayal . . . Protecting IP From Departing Employees
In the current environment of the Great Resignation and hiring talent wars, there is a key battle that must be won: protecting your intellectual property. If employees are walking out the door, have you taken the right steps to ensure that your trade secrets don’t walk out with them? If you are hiring new talent, have you prepared the right paperwork to protect your intellectual property? Join attorneys Kristin Cleveland, Partner at Klarquist Sparkman and Laura Salerno Owens, President and Shareholder at Markowitz Herbold PC for an interactive discussion where they will provide some best practices to plan for and guard against employee misappropriation.
