Former Employees as Competitors: Trade Secret and Data Forensics Issues, Presented by Jiyun Cameron Lee and Andrew Crain

California’s prohibition on non-compete agreements allows workers to move freely to new employers; this policy has created a vibrant and growing tech economy. However, employee mobility can threaten valuable trade secrets. Our speakers, veterans of many trade secret cases, will share their insights on how to handle employee departures, trade secret protection and data forensics from both employer and employee perspectives.
