Identifying Opportunities: Affirmative Recovery Strategies

Join us Tuesday, August 6, for a comprehensive CLE featuring a panel discussion exploring trends, options, and strategies for finding potential revenue hidden within your company. Panelists, including both corporate counsel and private practice trial attorneys, will discuss opportunities for turning corporate legal departments into revenue centers. Panelists will provide their perspectives on identifying opportunities for companies to pursue affirmative recoveries and share how they effectively collaborate to streamline processes and optimize outcomes.

Examples of affirmative recoveries include

  • Intellectual Property: Learn how to identify underutilized patents, capitalize on licensing opportunities, and leverage intellectual property assets for competitive advantage.
  • Antitrust: Gain insights into detecting anti-competitive practices within your industry and strategize ways to recover damages incurred due to anti-competitive behavior.
  • Financial Misconduct: Discover effective strategies for recovering losses stemming from financial fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and other financial misconduct.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights and practical strategies to identify, assess, and capitalize on unrealized opportunities for revenue growth within their organizations.

The post-employment non-compete landscape continues to change all over the country. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a rule that would ban non-competes nationwide, spurring multiple legal challenges. A Texas federal judge will decide a challenge to the FTC non-compete ban by July 3, 2024. On the state level, several state legislatures passed bans that were vetoed; California expanded the reach of its non-compete ban; and, over recent years, numerous states (including Illinois) have placed limitations on the use and enforcement of non-competes.

Please join Epstein Becker Green attorneys Kate Rigby and Carolyn Boucek, along with Kurt Hadley, Senior Counsel, Employment Law and Litigation at Ingredion, on July 9 or 10, 2024, for an informative and interactive discussion about how employers can navigate uncertainty in the current landscape of non-compete laws in the United States, with an emphasis on addressing the intricacies and pitfalls of the FTC’s proposed non-compete ban, practical tips to deal with the possible future outcomes of the litigation challenging the ban, and other ways to protect employers’ legitimate business interests and guard against unfair competition.

This session will delve into the FTC’s historical stance on noncompetes (spoiler alert: virtually nonexistent until the past few years), provide a comprehensive analysis of the FTC’s new rule, and examine the ongoing legal challenges and their potential effects on enforcement and compliance timelines. Learn about strategic adjustments in-house counsel can implement to ensure adherence to the new rule while safeguarding your organization’s business interests.
