At this month's Lunch & Learn session, all your questions about non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and trade secret agreements will be answered, including but not limited to the following:

  • Do we really need any of these provisions? Are they enforceable in Wisconsin? What about other states? Should they be in handbooks or separate agreements? How are these provisions enforced in the court of law? How do we make sure the territory and other restrictions are reasonable?
  • Can we bind current employees? If so, do we have to give them something, or is continued employment sufficient?
  • What is the difference between a "no-hire" provision and a "no-solicitation" provision and why should I care?

With all the latest news on cyber-attacks we thought it would be important to keep you informed on ways you can avoid this happening to you personally and with your business. And, as small business owners many of you do not have an IT department or IT staff person to help you when trouble arises. So, we have presenter Scott Wallace with S.A. Wallace sharing 4 technology tips on securing your online information.

The Coffee Talks are meant to be interactive, so please bring your questions, comments or concerns to the discussion.

An RSVP to this event is very important, so please click link below to register. No cost to attend.
