Fair Competition and Playing the Litigation Game

This seminar is designed to inform the insurance professional of the statutory and case law regarding fair and unfair competition.  This aspect of law affects the hiring of employees from competitors, the protection and preservation of trade secrets and proprietary information (such as renewal lists, underwriting guidelines, marketing strategies), and what constitutes false advertising.  It will educate the attendees on what constitutes proprietary information and trade secrets, how to protect such information from disclosure, and what to do if that information gets into the hands of a competitor.  We will address topics such as employment contracts, and the types of non-competition and non-solicitation provisions between an insurance brokerage and its employees.
