Handling the Departure of Key Employees

Trade secrets are paramount to a company’s long-term success. Trusted employees are considered one of a company’s most important assets. In our new virtual environment, protecting valuable IP following the resignation or termination of an employee can present a variety of new challenges.

“Protecting your Assets” is a four-part discussion addressing a variety of concerns at the intersection of employee departures and protecting valuable company trade secrets. In part one of the series, Alison Reif, chair of Choate’s Labor and Employment Group, and Mark Edgarton, a partner in Choate’s Intellectual Property Litigation Group, discuss challenges companies face during an employee’s departure and important steps companies can take to mitigate risk.
