Join a lively discussion as we share snippets and lessons learned from the trenches of a recent employee mobility and trade secrets trial. Find out how to position your company for success in the event you become involved in litigation over an employee raiding or theft-of-trade-secrets incident, what employers and current/former employees may and may not do when competing, and what to anticipate if you end up going to trial over these types of claims.

This will be a unique presentation where you will see actual trial exhibits, jury instructions, and the jury verdict form; hear from a computer forensic expert; and see the impact of evidence spoliation and witnesses taking the 5th amendment.

Topics Will Include:

• what policies and practices will help your company prosecute and defend these lawsuits;
• what you must show to establish something is a trade secret;
• when an employee breaches the duty of loyalty owed to his/her employer;
• how you prove or challenge that the unlawful conduct caused recoverable damages; and
• how you can use electronic discovery and computer forensics to better investigate and litigate these disputes.

  Partner, Morrison & Foerster LLP
