Description
Cross-border and remote work has significantly increased in the post-Covid19 world. Protecting confidential information and enforcing restrictions not to compete, now have a number of challenges, when employees are not bound by a specific territory and can work from anywhere (WFA), thanks to the digital age. Drafting of non-disclosure agreements and restrictive covenants will now need to reflect the new WFA scenario. This session will cover how best to protect the interests of the company in this digital context.
