HRLaw training – Termination of employment: protecting reputations and confidential information

When a key employee leaves an organisation, how can you protect against competitive activity, (mis)use of confidential information and damage to the organisation’s reputation?

Expert trainer and lawyer Selwyn Blyth will look at the options available when a settlement agreement offers an opportunity to negotiate protection to safeguard confidential information and relationships with clients, suppliers and employees.

Training course outline

• Restate existing restrictions on competitive activity – or introduce new ones?
• “Reasonable” protection for “legitimate business interests”: what does this mean?
• Pros & cons of different types of restriction (non-compete, non-solicitation, non-dealing, non-poaching)
• Confidential information: what is a “trade secret” (and what is not)?
• Limitations on the use of confidentiality clauses (particularly relating to allegations of harassment, whistleblowing)
• Reporting issues to a regulator
• Technical requirements of a valid settlement agreement
