In this class, learn how to protect such valuable information.
Class covers:
- Trade secrets: how to obtain, protect, and enforce
- Non-competition agreements: enforceable or not?
- Using privacy laws to protect confidential information
- Your employee’s legal duty of loyalty: how far does it go?
- Avoiding a wrongful termination lawsuit
