Protecting Confidential Information in the Evolving Workplace: Strategies for Avoiding the Loss of Company Secrets

Companies have been forced to adjust policies to enable employees to work from home and have adopted new technologies to maintain business operations.

In this presentation, Robins Kaplan LLP trial lawyers Christopher K. Larus and David A. Prange discussed the challenges associated with these shifts in the workplace and share proven strategies for protecting company secrets in 2020 and beyond.
