Aimée Dayhoff, Kyle Kroll (moderator), Lisa Ellingson, and Olga Rogne will be presenting at the FBA webinar, “Trade Secrets & Non-Solicits in Business Sales: Trial Insights & Strategic Considerations,” on August 20, 2025.

When a business changes hands, restrictive covenants like non-solicitation and trade secret protections often follow the deal—but so can disputes. In recent years, courts have taken a nuanced approach to enforcing these provisions, especially when non-competes in general have been increasingly outlawed or limited in scope. This webinar will explore the current state of the law governing trade secrets and non-solicitation agreements in the sale-of-business context, with a practical focus on client advising and litigation strategy. Attendees will gain insights from recent trials from the presenters involving these claims, including effective themes for both plaintiffs and defendants, the role of injunctive relief, and evidentiary challenges around damages and bad faith. Whether enforcing or defending against such claims, this session will help practitioners sharpen their playbook for navigating these high-stakes cases in federal court.
