On 7 March 2024, in-house counsels and employment lawyers from all over Europe will gather in Dublin for the Spring European Employment Summit, organised by the International Employment Lawyer. Van Olmen & Wynant is a proud sponsor of this event.
VOW's senior associate Gautier Busschaert will speak at a panel on how to protect trade secrets as an employer. With reduction-in-force projects showing no signs of abating, and the war for talent continuing, multinational businesses should be wary of exiting employees leaving with sensitive and confidential information. From trade secrets to patents and client lists, this session will look at the types of intellectual property outgoing staff could steal, the potential impact on businesses, how employers can prevent or mitigate such thefts from occurring, and how to recover their property when it does.
Other panels focus on future working trends, criminal investigations, working with hidden disabilities, creating healthier and safer workplaces and organised labour and employee activism.
The European Employment Summit is the second edition after last year in London.
