How would you advise your organisation if one of its key employees or a team left to join a rival business or set up in competition?

Michael Page and Morgan Cole invite you to a free seminar on Thursday 23rd February 2012 to consider this question and advise on practical steps to take to protect your organisation.

The degree to which a business can cope with such departures depends to a large extent on the steps it has taken to anticipate such an issue arising. This includes ensuring it has appropriate restrictive post termination restrictions in place, that it adopts the right tactics on learning of a departing employee and that it reacts decisively to any breaches of obligations by employees/ex-employees.

At the free seminar you will hear from a broad range of industry experts including specialists in IT forensic investigations and leading counsel involved at the cutting edge of case law in this area. During the seminar you will be provided with practical advice on how to ensure your organisation is protected and can deal effectively with the threat to your business posed by departing employees.

The free seminar on 23rd February 2012 will be held at Reading's Madejski Stadium with the following programme of events:
