Jason Boulette will present “Protecting Trade Secrets While Hiring from the Competition” at 2:20pm, analyzing the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act and its effect on theft of trade secret claims, with in-depth discussion of techniques for minimizing the likelihood of suit and maximizing the probability of success when hiring key talent from direct competitors.
