Nov 9/NYC - Trade Secrets, Track Records and Non-Competes: Employee Mobility in the Financial Services Industry

This program will explore the practical and legal issues that arise when employees transition between financial services firms. When an employee now ends his or her employment at a bank, hedge fund, private equity firm or other financial services firm, both the employer and employee are faced with a complex set of risks and competing interests to protect, many of which involve the use and protection of intangible confidential information. The upheaval occasioned by the financial crisis has greatly increased the number of such transitions, and has raised the stakes for both employers and employees in protecting these interests.

The subject matters addressed in this program will include: (i) the treatment of trade secrets and confidential information; (ii) the portability of “track record” information; and (iii) non-competition agreements. The program will address both civil and criminal aspects of these issues.

While the focus of this presentation will be on the financial services industry, the principles developed in that context have applicability in many other areas. Accordingly, the program should be of interest to a wide range of federal practitioners.
