“Mediating and Arbitrating Non-Competes and Trade Secrets”
Friday, June 4 | 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. CDT
1 hour MCLE credit, including 0.25 hours ethics
During this presentation, Gary will resolve a hypothetical, typical case involving former and current employers and an employee. Using this case, Gary will focus on the unique rules and dynamics of mediating a non-compete case (both from the standpoint of the practitioner and the neutral) and arbitration. Issues included are JAMS and AAA rules on emergency relief, arbitrability of the matter against non-signatories to the arbitration, the interests of each party (and non-parties) to the mediation, and settlement issues that commonly arise during mediation.
