Confidential information is often one of the most valuable assets of a business. In this challenging economic climate, there has never been a greater need for employers to protect that information.
We have extensive experience in protecting corporate assets through the introduction of confidentiality, data protection, non-competition and intellectual and industrial property clauses.
Our lawyers in Angola have experience in dealing with disputes around misuse of confidential information and unlawful competition by employees and directors, as well as challenges in protecting confidential information, particularly with the growth of new technology and social media.
Experience has included advising:
- A tech company in structuring specific contractual terms to apply to its workers to ensure the protection of its customer data that the company has in its data center;
- Regarding the introduction of non-competition and exclusivity clauses in banking company employment contracts;
- A service provider to the oil and gas industry with the drafting of labor agreements with clauses to protect business assets, including confidentiality, data protection, non-competition, and intellectual and industrial property; and
- In conducting legal investigations and due diligence on possible employee defaults on their corporate asset obligations, including IPT assets.
