ACE is holding a special in-person HR forum in London on Tuesday 15 March 2022 at 11.30am.

Hosts, HR legal experts Bird & Bird, will present Business Protection in a COVID-impacted world. Partner Tim Spillane and associate Rob Briggs will explore why it’s becoming increasingly important to protect your organisation's confidential information and trade secrets.

Designed for HR professionals and SME business leaders, the session will delve into the practical steps that can be taken with new hires, existing employees and when offboarding. In addition, it will explore post-termination restrictive covenants and offer tips for dealing with employees and former employees who breach their obligations.

Tim Spillane, partner at Bird & Bird said: “We’re delighted to host ACE members in London for what will be a vital session, exploring an increasingly important area of HR. With organisations across the board facing higher staff turnover and increasing use of contractors, securing your businesses’ confidential information and trade secrets has never been more timely.”

Claire Clifford, Director of People, Skills and Culture at ACE added: “I’d like to thank Bird & Bird for welcoming us to their offices in London for what promises to be a fascinating session. Whether HR professional or SME business leader, there will be plenty of practical tips that you can take back into your organisation.”

“I’m also looking forward to holding the first in-person ACE meeting since the beginning of the pandemic. It has been a while, but with faces together in a room I am sure the session will be naturally collaborative delivering even more value for attendees. I look forward to seeing you there.”
