[BCLT x Skadden] The Talent Tug-Of-War: Lessons from the Trenches on Trade Secrets and Employment Mobility Disputes
Tuesday, January 27, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
In today’s fast-moving and fiercely competitive business landscape, companies are in a constant battle to protect their trade secrets and confidential information. Join BCLT and Skadden on Tuesday, January 27, from 1-2 pm in Room 100 for a lunchtime panel of distinguished lawyers to unpack important areas in this exciting practice:
- As lawyers, we must add value to companies before litigation by counseling on restrictive covenant best practices for key executives.
- We also discuss how to best enforce or challenge restrictive covenants when executives move.
- Our practitioners will also discuss emerging trends in trade secrets and employment mobility disputes and trials/arbitrations, from the extraterritorial reach of the DTSA, to working with clients and experts to define the boundaries of the trade secrets and employment mobility cases under the time pressure of TROs and Preliminary Injunctions
RSVP here! Lunch will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
