Velocity Legal Lawyers Jessica Hill and Katherine Stewart

What happens if an employee misuses confidential information?

Hiring and trusting employees comes with an element of goodwill. But what happens when that trust is broken? It's not uncommon to see employees take information - which they shouldn't - and start competing businesses, or take that information to a competitor's business, and secure themselves a position because of that information. Learn how to protect your business at this seminar on managing and preventing the misuse of confidential information.
