A "What Matters" Maslon Speaker Series (Originally presented: Wednesday, May 3, 2006. Please contact Elizabeth Bolt to schedule a presentation at your location.) Every employer today needs to protect its intellectual property and confidential information when recruiting employees to avoid being sued for infringing on competitors’ rights. This seminar will help employers better understand the risks involved in the hiring process so they can proactively manage those risks. The presenters will cover: hiring competitors’ employees who are subject to non-compete agreements, avoiding competitors’ accusations of employee “raiding,” and protecting intellectual property rights when employees claim ownership for the concepts developed during employment. Whether a company is in high-tech, bio-tech, low-tech, information or financial services, it faces these risks each time an employee is hired or gets recruited to a competitor. This seminar will provide employers with the tools to successfully hire and retain the most talented employees without compromising trade secrets. This is the first in a two-part seminar series on hiring top talent without losing your trade secrets to competitors. Presented by Maslon's Competitive Practices Litigation Group, the series will be hosted by Bill Pentelovitch. TOPICS Hiring strategies: Minimizing your risk
