NLRB and Restrictive Covenants: Trends in Employment Confidentiality

About the Program

Confidentiality obligations and restrictive covenants are crucial tools employed by organizations to protect sensitive information, trade secrets, and competitive advantages. However, recent state law and regulatory developments and NLRB decisions have created a complex web of considerations that employers must navigate when drafting and enforcing these agreements. Seyfarth’s fourth installment in the 2023 Trade Secrets Webinar Series aims to provide in-depth insights into two key areas of concern: carveouts to employment confidentiality obligations and the intersection between the NLRB and restrictive covenants, including the NLRB’s recent attacks on confidentiality provisions and non-compete agreements.

During this webinar, our esteemed panel of legal experts delve into the following key topics:

The evolving landscape of employment confidentiality obligations and risks created by overbroad restrictions
The NLRB's increasingly aggressive positioning against restrictive covenants
Recent case studies
Strategies for compliance and risk mitigation
