Program Description
Transactional attorneys are frequently asked by clients about business torts - those non-contractual claims arising between companies and their departing employees over valuable “know-how” or non-competes, and between companies and their lenders, competitors and vendors. Though frequently asserted, business torts are often misunderstood by clients. This program will provide transactional attorneys with a practical guide to the range of business torts, the circumstances in which they are validly asserted, and how to measure damages. The program will focus on two categories of business torts - claims between a company and departing employees and those between a company and other businesses.
Day 1: July 13, 2010:
- Trade secret misappropriation by departing employees elements of a valid claim, how to prevent loss intangible assets, and how to redress once it's too late
- Enforcing non-competes what's valid, what's not, and what happens when you lay off employees
- Business torts in employee recruitment and hiring
Day 2: July 14, 2010:
- Tortious interference with a business expectancy/interference with a transaction - elements of a valid claim and measuring damages
- Breach of fiduciary duty/good faith and fair dealing - practical circumstances in which it arises and remedies
