Hiring employees from competitors can be risky! In Wednesday’s S2|DATA webinar, we’ll discuss best practices for onboarding to mitigate litigation risk!

This Wednesday, March 25th, eDiscovery Today will host the S2|DATA sponsored webinar titled Best Practices for Onboarding to Mitigate Litigation Risk When Hiring from Competitors (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). Building on established defensible deletion strategies, this webinar shifts the focus from reactive cleanup to preventative protocols.

Attendees will learn:

• How to align recruiting, HR, and legal expectations during the recruiting, hiring and onboarding processes;
• How to educate existing and prospective employees to the legal and contractual obligations at play;
• How to implement written compliance acknowledgments;
• How forensic imaging and intake controls reduce contamination risk;
• How to document good-faith remediation if issues arise;
• How proactive planning reduces spoliation and sanctions risk.

I’m excited to be part of a terrific panel discussing these topics! Joining me will be Greg Freemyer, Director of Research and Development at S2|DATA; Benjamin I. Fink, President & Shareholder at Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. and Jeremy L. Kahn, Principal at Berman Fink Van Horn P.C.! This is a terrific combination of legal and forensic experts to discuss these unique best practices and how to address them!

Let’s face it: When employees transition from competitors, proprietary information and trade secrets from a former employer can unintentionally (or intentionally) migrate onto a new employer’s information technology systems. Once integrated, the risk of liability is high, and remediation is expensive, complex, and legally sensitive. Register here to learn best practices for onboarding to mitigate litigation risk when hiring from competitors this Wednesday!

So, what do you think? Is your organization concerned about hiring and onboarding employees? If so, attend the webinar! And please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
