Legally Protecting Your Company Assets

You spent a lot of time and money to start your business and probably even more to keep it running. You have accumulated many physical assets such as buildings, machinery and equipment. And, you probably have even more intangible assets such as accounts receivables, copyrights, computer programs, trademarks, patents, and yes, maybe even something as simple as a recipe.  

These assets can be compromised through risks such as divorce, poor partnerships agreements, and dishonest employees. Be smart and discover what you can do to protect these hard earned assets.  In this session you will hear strategies you can take to protect and keep what is yours. 

Don’t miss hearing about:

• Protecting your personal and business assets

• Trade Secrets and how they may apply to your business

• Confidentiality agreements and how to execute one

• Protecting non-physical assets such as ideas through copyrights and trademarks

• Types of insurance and the protections it can offer

• Non-compete and non solicitation agreements

• Your social media reputation
