Hot Topics in Employee Defection and Trade Secrets: Spotlight on Washington State

Join Fisher Phillips for a webinar focused on employers in Washington and how to approach employee mobility, restrictive covenants, and the protection of trade secrets.

Restrictive covenants are perceived to be among the most effective methods by which employers can safeguard critical assets and information. At least they were, before the enforceability of non-competes by state legislatures around the country, including the Washington State Legislature. The Federal Trade Commission and National Labor Relations Board have also gotten into the picture. The situation for employers doing business in Washington state is complicated by a recently amended law that effectively turned many non-solicitation agreements into illegal non-competes.

This program will detail the current legal and regulatory landscape in Washington and provide practical guidance for protecting vital business assets. Attendees will come away prepared to confront this attack on restrictive covenants with poise and confidence.

The firm will submit this program for HRCI and SHRM credit.
