Employee Agreements
Protecting Your Company’s Greatest Asset – and Preventing a Competitive Attack from Within
Presented by Kenneth R. Gilberg, Shareholder, Flaster Greenberg PC
Without the right written employment agreements, your company could be at risk by employees who are not restricted from opening a competing business or joining a competitor, soliciting your customers, or hiring away your best employees—using the skills and information they learned from your company to do it. In this interactive strategic session the participants will learn:
- Why it is important to have written employment agreements
- What types of employment agreements should be considered
- How to protect your business with an enforceable non-competition agreement
- How a non-solicitation agreement is different than a non-competition agreement
- How to protect confidential/proprietary information
- How to keep former employees from hiring away your best workers
- Other policies and issues to consider
