Overview:

Trade secrets are considered as one of the most valuable assets in any company and the need to effectively manage and protect these must be prioritized at all times. However, as companies continue to grapple with remote work arrangements, taking reasonable management and precautions for trade secrets has become more complex and challenging.

Sankoorikal, (Covington & Burling LLP) will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion on how to effectively manage trade secrets in a remote work environment.
