Trade Secrets Webinar: What the New Federal Trade Secrets Law Means for Your Clients

Webinar | 06.15.16, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT

Last month the President signed the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). For the first time, federal courts will have original jurisdiction over certain civil trade secret misappropriation claims. This is the most important development in trade secrets law in at least 35 years, putting trade secrets on par with patents, copyrights, and trademarks.


The DTSA is the product of years of growing concern over the threats to trade secrets in the information economy, lobbying by frequent targets (particularly those from foreign instrumentalities), and refinement to the language of the law itself to address various concerns.


This webinar will provide an overview of the DTSA, how the courts are likely to interpret certain provisions, and best practice guidance from the experts on how to use DTSA to your client’s advantage. Particular attention will be focused on the seizure provisions and recommended language for employee agreements.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

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.
