Trade Secrets: An Interplay Between Trade Secrets and Non-Competes (Part 3)

In this episode of S&C’s Critical Insights, Annie Ostrager, Co-Head of S&C’s Employment Law Group, Alex Gross, a partner in the Firm’s Litigation Group, and associate Sabrina Solow, explore the interaction between trade secret litigation and non-compete agreements. They discuss how non-compete provisions in employment contracts can help mitigate the risk of employees taking confidential information to competitors and the challenges associated with enforcing non-competes. Annie, Alex and Sabrina also cover the concept of “inevitable disclosure” of confidential information, recent court cases related to non-competes and trade secrets, and the implications of the FTC's efforts to invalidate non-compete agreements on a federal level.
