TOPIC: The protection of intellectual property and trade secrets – how to safeguard your business
So many of us spend many valuable years of our lives in building a successful business, forging valuable client and supplier relationships or developing that unique product or service. It is an unfortunate and sad reality that few of us spend as much time safeguarding our unique business ideas, confidential information and connections as we do creating/forging them, which often results in a loss of competitive edge, ultimately a loss of income or even closing your business. So, what are your options in safeguarding your business, connections and ideas?
Join us for an insightful morning where Nicolene Schoeman will guide you through all the latest and most innovative legal and practical business solutions to these challenges.
