Ashley Oldfield Presents at 12th Annual North Carolina Business Court CLE
Rayburn Cooper & Durham associate Ashley Oldfield recently presented “Eyeing the Competition: Non-Competes, Trade Secrets, and the FTC’s Proposed Non-Compete Rule” at the Mecklenburg Bar Association’s 12th Annual North Carolina Business Court CLE held in Charlotte, NC. Ashley was joined by Katie Burchette of Johnston Allison Hord to discuss the state of the law for non-competition agreements and trade secrets. The presentation included an overview of the life of a trade secret lawsuit, from Business Court designation to damages and everything in between, an update on recent cases involving non-competition agreements, and an analysis of the continued relevance of the FTC’s now-set-aside non-compete ban. The CLE also included a judge’s panel discussion and presentations regarding artificial intelligence, the law on Section 75-1.1 claims, and recent Business Court cases of note.
