For corporate legal professionals specializing in employment law, it is crucial to keep abreast of the ever-changing landscape of restrictive covenants and trade secrets law. A recent edition of the Employment Law This Week® podcast provides valuable insights on how California employers can navigate this complex area.
In this podcast, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Katherine G. Rigby, David Jacobs, and Phillip K. Antablin provide a detailed breakdown of the best practices for California employers to protect their trade secrets and remain in compliance with the state’s regulations. Owing to its robust workforce and innovative industries, California has some of the most stringent rules on restrictive covenants at present.
The attorneys’ recommendations are an essential guide for legal teams dealing with these issues, not just for California-based firms, but could provide precedents beneficial to company attorneys and law firms operating in other jurisdictions with similar stringent restrictions.
This episode of the Spilling Secrets series not only offers legal advice, but also contains a broad overview of the future of non-compete and trade secrets law. Staying on top of these developments enables employment lawyers to proactively address potential issues and risks, ensuring they remain ahead in the hyper-competitive and dynamic legal environment.
