#39 Termination LC: When senior employees leave: How can businesses protect trade secrets and structure non-compete agreements?

from The Lawyers Talk · host BLawyers Vietnam

Dear listeners, welcome back to The Lawyers Talk, the podcast channel of BLawyers Vietnam. I am Dang Thi Kim Chau, and it is my pleasure to join you again for today’s episode. When terminating the employment of senior employees, key personnel, or managers, businesses must address more than termination procedures and final payments. A more significant concern is that these employees may have had years of access to customer data, pricing policies, business plans, and internal processes. Businesses should therefore prepare appropriate measures for confidentiality, data control, and post-employment competition. A lengthy confidentiality agreement does not necessarily provide effective protection. Similarly, a non-compete clause imposing substantial compensation for breach may not necessarily be enforceable. If the protected information is not clearly identified, access is not properly controlled, and evidence of violations is not preserved, the business may remain vulnerable when a senior employee leaves. So, what should businesses prepare when senior employees leave? In today’s podcast, BLawyers Vietnam will focus on 02 key questions: (i) First, what should a business do to protect confidential information during the termination process? (ii) Second, how should a non-compete agreement be structured to improve its enforceability?
