Employee Mobility: Protecting the Company when Employees Leave
Webinar | 06.15.17, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT
Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Employment Law Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.
Theft of company data by departing employees is a growing concern for employers. The current dispute between Google and Uber over alleged theft of self-driving vehicle technology followed Uber’s decision to hire former Waymo employee Anthony Lewandowski. This litigation is the most recent, high profile example of how these concerns can play out in court.
Our panelists include Labor & Employment attorneys, as well as Anne Herold Li, from Crowell & Moring’s intellectual property litigation group, who specializes in trade secrets protection advice and related litigation. We will discuss best practices for responding to departing employees who are privy to confidential and proprietary company information. Using the Google-Uber litigation as a case study, we’ll discuss a variety of issues, including topics to consider in drafting enforceable agreements and effective utilization of exit interviews and other HR practices designed to protect company data. We will share our insights on how to conduct forensic examinations of electronic equipment to which employees had access. We will also discuss steps prudent employers should consider before hiring employees who previously worked for competitors. Finally, our panelists will review litigation in this area, including the latest developments under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, which just celebrated its first anniversary.
This free webinar is scheduled for Thursday, June 15, at 12:00 pm Eastern. We hope that you can join us and participate in a lively discussion of these issues by our Crowell & Moring lawyers.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
