In a post-COVID world where working remotely is now part of the norm, it has become increasingly important for companies to adequately protect their confidential and trade secret information. This presentation covers the intersection between employment and intellectual property law, specifically relating to the employee onboarding and termination processes, to ensure that your employees do not access, use or disclose your confidential or trade secret information in a manner in which that information would become public or misappropriated. We also discuss best practices to protect your, your clients’, and any third party’s confidential and trade secret information through appropriate safeguards that should be implemented in the employee onboarding and termination process. Lastly, we discuss best practices relating to remediation when you become aware that an employee has brought another party’s confidential or trade secret information into your company upon hiring.
