About the Program
Join us for the third and final session of our Commercial Litigation Outlook webinar series, where we’ll examine key legal trends shaping the future of trade secrets, non-compete agreements, eDiscovery, and data privacy. This session will deliver practical insights into regulatory changes, litigation risks, and compliance strategies across these dynamic areas.
Key topics include:
- Non-Compete Enforcement in Flux: Analyze shifting federal and state approaches to non-compete agreements, including the uncertain fate of the FTC’s proposed ban, ongoing legal challenges, and increased scrutiny in jurisdictions like California, Minnesota, and Delaware.
- Prioritizing Trade Secret Protection: As non-compete agreements face greater limitations, discover how businesses can strengthen trade secret defenses through enhanced protocols, documentation, and technology—especially in the context of emerging AI-related risks.
- GenAI’s Impact on eDiscovery: Explore how generative AI is transforming discovery workflows, prompting new expectations around transparency, defensibility, and the protection of work product—guided by recent case law and evolving ESI standards.
- Litigating AI-Generated Evidence: Delve into the challenges posed by deepfakes and synthetic content, from authentication concerns to rising litigation costs, and the importance of proactive detection and preservation protocols.
- Privacy Litigation on the Rise: Examine how evolving statutes such as CCPA, CIPA, and BIPA are being used to contest companies’ use of tracking technologies, biometric tools, and connected devices—and how courts are addressing harm and standing.
- Managing Emerging Privacy Risks: Gain insight into the growing legal exposure tied to telematics, algorithmic decision-making, and sensitive health data—and explore proactive mitigation strategies like privacy audits, enhanced disclosures, and vendor oversight.
