What can you do when you want to hire employees from a competitor? If you hire two employees from a competitor, have you committed raiding? Four? Six? Ten? If the employees bring with them confidential data, can your organization be held liable for the misappropriation of trade secrets? What if the employees are executives? Have they breached their fiduciary obligations? When is competition illegal? This session will examine these and other critical questions relating to raiding, misappropriation and breach of fiduciary duty claims. Learn how the existence or non-existence of non-competition agreements affects these claims. Learn what you can do to protect your organization against claims of this kind.
