Amelia Sargent Presents ALI CLE Webcast on How to Protect Trade Secrets Without a Noncompete

On December 14, 2023, Willenken partner Amelia Sargent will present an American Law Institute (ALI) CLE webcast, titled “How to Protect Trade Secrets Without a Noncompete.”

According to the Federal Trade Commission, approximately 30 million American workers are currently bound by a non-compete clause. However, this could soon change as state-based efforts have started to disfavor and even ban non-compete clauses in employment contracts. Therefore, employers must pivot and find other ways to protect their intellectual property.

Amelia will examine how employers can navigate a new landscape without noncompetes. She will discuss the best strategies, outside of a noncompete clause, to protect trade secrets. Amelia will also explore the following topics:

• How to identify business trade secrets and why you want to do this in advance.
• Strategies that build a management and employee culture that appreciates the importance of protecting trade secrets.
• Ways to improve HR policies and procedures to protect trade secrets.
• Leveraging IT assets to protect trade secrets and special considerations for remote workers.
• Things to consider before you hire your next candidate.
• How to spot and limit trade secret exposure from third party and temporary workers.
• Special considerations for acquisition and sale scenarios.
