The firm of Dechert LLP early next month will present a CLE seminar titled Non-Competes and Trade Secrets: Checklists and Other Practical Tips under the sponsorship of the Greater New York Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel America.
The program is scheduled Wednesday, November 2 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Plaza, New York City.
The seminar will examine questions such as: What should you do when your client's trade secrets appear to have been compromised or its non-compete appears to have been violated? Is litigation the best course? What factors should you evaluate in assessing the desirability of pursuing or defending litigation in a particular situation?
Dechert LLP partner Diane Siegel Danoff will present a checklist of considerations for deciding whether to litigate a trade secret or non-compete case. Also, together with Elizabeth Kim, senior counsel at GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, Ms. Danoff will offer a checklist of action items for ensuring that employers' trade secrets are protected in the first place.
Ms. Danoff and Ms. Kim also will discuss key non-compete and/or confidentiality provisions to consider inserting into vendor agreements, contractor or consulting agreements, and employee non-competes.
There is no registration fee for the seminar. For details on available CLE credits, see the Bulletin Board on The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel website at www.metrocorpcounsel.com.
