Trade secret disputes continue to rise as companies grapple with a more mobile workforce, expanded use of third-party vendors, and the growing role of AI tools in handling proprietary information. In this presentation, we will discuss recent case law and legal updates regarding trade secrets, including how courts are treating misappropriation claims involving departing employees, competitors, and evolving technology. We will also address current best practices for identifying, classifying, and protecting company trade secrets and proprietary information, from internal safeguards and access controls to confidentiality agreements with employees and vendors. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for strengthening trade secret protection programs and for responding quickly and effectively when misappropriation is suspected.
