CLE - Trade Secrets Under Pressure: Cross Functional Strategies for Protecting Your Company’s Most Valuable Assets, presented by Squire Patton Boggs

Protecting trade secrets has never been more challenging, or more critical, for companies as they are recorded electronically and can be easily transmitted. This engaging Continuing Legal Education (CLE), presented in partnership with the Northeast Ohio Association of Corporate Counsel, explores the hottest trade secret issues emerging across the US. Through scenario‑based exercises and interactive polling, participants will test how they would respond to a range of risk situations, from employee mobility to data hacks.

The program also addresses emerging risks associated with employee use of generative AI and automated tools, including how to safeguard proprietary inputs and prevent inadvertent disclosure. A dynamic panel discussion will tie these issues together, offering practical, actionable strategies drawn from the intersecting perspectives of legal disciplines that routinely shape trade secret protection. Attendees will learn to identify red flags, navigate overlapping obligations and implement effective measures to strengthen trade secret protection strategies in their day‑to‑day roles.
