· What’s new under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, including discussion of the intent of the DTSA as compared to its application.
· The wide spectrum of non-compete and restrictive covenant laws—from California’s absolute prohibition on non-competes to states without any restrictions at all.
· Colorado’s criminalization of employer violations of restrictive covenant law – is this the wave of the future?
