Thanks Tracey Diamond and Evan Gibbs for dedicating an episode of #HiringtoFiring to trade secrets! Great conversation all around and thrilled to be joined by William Taylor. Will was one of the first litigators we talked to in 2020 when Tangibly Inc was in the early days of figuring out what to build. His input was invaluable!

As for the podcast, the highlight for me was hearing about Evan’s trade secret case where the defendant was working for direct competitors…..at the same time! The benefits of remote work taken a step too far 🙂
