ACC Houston

ACC Houston April Chapter Meeting CLE
How to Add an Employee, not a Lawsuit & Exit an Employee, not your Confidential Info and Customers
April 9, 2024 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Maggiano's Little Italy

Join BoyarMiller Shareholder Andrew Pearce for a practical discussion including best practices and tips for legal strategies related to employees.

Practical tips and suggested best practices, including the answers to:

  • What is an employee acknowledgment letter and why should you use it? 
  • When and why should you send a letter to your new employee’s former employer?
  • What is better – requiring a former employee to return company information or destroy it?
  • Who owns the contacts in your employees’ phone – the company or the employee?
  • Why require a former employee to return or destroy only confidential company information – why not any company information?
  • When you are terminating an employee who does not have a non-compete but you wish she did – is it too late?
  • In an age of non-solicitation agreements, does it matter who is doing the soliciting?

Notes

The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is a global bar association that promotes the common professional and business interests of in-house counsel who work for and whose primary responsibility is providing legal advice to corporations, associations and other private-sector organizations. Accordingly, the ACC Houston Chapter reserves the right to limit attendance at any of its Continuing Legal Education (CLE) events to ACC Houston Chapter members or non-ACC chapter member in-house attorneys only. If you are not an in-house attorney and wish to attend a CLE event, you may only do so, space permitting, if you are accompanied by an in-house attorney from your company or organization.

When you participate in a ACC or ACC Houston event, photography, audio and/or video recording may occur. By participating in the event, you grant ACC Houston and other entities as ACC Houston may designate from time to time (“ACC Houston Parties”) the right to create, use, distribute, broadcast, edit, or otherwise disseminate the photography, audio and/or video recording from the event that contain recordings of you or your likeness (collectively “Recordings”) without any further review or approval from you, in whole or in part, throughout the world, in perpetuity, in any and all media now known or hereafter developed. This grant to the ACC Houston Parties includes, but is not limited to, the use of the Recordings either alone or together with supporting materials, such as video or supporting information.

Examples of permitted use of the Recordings include displaying the photographs as thumbnails on a ACC Houston website (e.g., www.acc.com/chapters/houst or acchouston.starchapter.com); utilizing the Recordings on ACC Houston Parties websites or print publications.

In addition, you understand that ACC Houston is not obligated to use the Recordings in any way. You agree that the rights granted herein are irrevocable. You further agree that you have no ownership rights in the Recordings and are due no royalties or other compensation whatsoever related to the Recordings.

By participating in the event, you affirm that you have the full power and authority to grant the rights and releases set forth herein.
