Employee Duty of Loyalty
PRESENTED BY THE USLAW BUSINESS/COMMERCIAL/CLASS ACTION PRACTICE GROUP
by Andrew Botti, Donovan Hatem, LLP, Boston, MA
What follows is an introduction to the issues raised by the law of employee duty of loyalty, and its relation to trade secrets and other proprietary business information. This area of the law often forms the basis for disputes arising between employers and their former employees. In particular, emphasis is placed upon those situations where ex-employees choose to compete in the same business with their former employers. It is this circumstance which seems to offer the greatest temptation for former employees to utilize wrongfully the information and knowledge gained in their prior positions, often to the detriment of their previous employer.
