The economy thrives on competition. But in the eyes of the law, some activities go too far. Our panel will map out key areas of legal risk for business enterprises competing with one another. Whether your focus is on attracting new business, or resisting inroads from competitors, this seminar will provide you with practical ideas and strategies to serve your business objectives.
We'll address questions including:
- how can you target a customer under contract with a competitor, and protect your own customer relationships?
- what are the risks in hiring key personnel from a competitor, and how can you protect your own workforce?
- can dealings or discussions with others in the past oblige you to share new business with them now, or limit your ability to compete?
- what can you do if a competitor's advertising or product resembles yours, or makes unfair or disparaging claims?
