In today’s business landscape, companies often struggle with finding the right balance between protecting their interests and ensuring compliance with the increasingly complicated legal requirements.
While competition law encourages companies to safeguard their trade secrets and investments in employees through restrictions in employment agreements, employment law tends to protect the employees’ freedom of speech and right to free movement, setting forth strict rules for any restrictive covenants. Where does this leave businesses?
Check out the webinar recording, where employment and competition law experts from Sorainen, representatives of competition authorities and Tilde discussed these issues and the complex landscape of labour market restrictions in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
What you will learn from the webinar:
- Recognising the conflict: Gain an understanding of the tension between competition law and employment law, and its impact on your business.
- Protecting your interests: Learn what tools might be possible under competition and employment law to protect your investments in employee training and confidential information.
- Getting legal insights: Get expert advice on creating effective employment agreements that comply with legal standards.
- Facing real-world scenarios: Explore practical examples and case studies relevant to the Baltic region.
This webinar is particularly relevant for companies with valuable employees or those who struggle with competitors, suppliers, or clients looking to restrict employee mobility or wages. Everyone in your organisation responsible for protecting employer interests (be it executives, HR professionals, in-house legal counsels, or compliance officers) will likely benefit from this webinar.
