Seyfarth is proud to serve as a Silver Sponsor of the Trade Secrets Symposium 2024: Navigating the Law of Trade Secrets and Restrictive Covenants, presented by the New York City Bar Association. This two-day virtual event will take place on Monday, December 9, and Tuesday, December 10, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:25 p.m. (ET).

The Symposium offers a comprehensive exploration of trade secret law, focusing on critical topics such as:

  • Fundamentals of trade secret law and the regulatory landscape in New York, federal, and state jurisdictions.
  • Emerging issues in trade secrets litigation and the role of trade secret law in artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies.
  • The FTC’s proposed rule to ban non-compete agreements and its implications, as well as evolving state-level regulations.

The panels will feature esteemed judges, in-house counsel, government representatives, and leading practitioners who will address key issues from both plaintiff and defense perspectives. This is a must-attend event for IP attorneys, employment lawyers, general counsel, and executives seeking to navigate this complex and evolving area of law.

Seyfarth’s Kate Perrelli, co-chair of the firm’s Trade Secrets, Computer Fraud, and Non-Compete Practice, will be speaking on Tuesday, December 10, from 11:20 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. ET during the session, “Beyond the FTC: Restrictive Covenants in an Increasingly Hostile Environment.”
