About the Program
Hosted by Seyfarth Shaw LLP, a Platinum Sponsor of the NBA–Corporate Law Section (NBA–CLS), this CLE webinar explores the growing risks of trade secret exposure in today’s hyperconnected world.
In an always-online environment, a single social media post, GitHub upload, or Slack message can put millions of dollars in proprietary data at risk. Join Seyfarth’s Trade Secrets team as they discuss how digital platforms—from LinkedIn to messaging apps—can become high-risk zones for trade secret exposure and what proactive steps companies can take to mitigate those risks.
This session will cover:
- Common ways trade secrets are inadvertently leaked online
- How to proactively train and guide employees on safe digital practices
- Key policy, monitoring, and enforcement strategies for protecting IP
- Practical steps to take when a potential disclosure occurs
- Legal implications and what recent cases are telling us
This program is designed for in-house counsel, business leaders, and professionals responsible for trade secret protection, AI innovation, and intellectual property strategy.
