Katherine Peatfield dives in to part four of our ongoing tech law series, where we explore the fast-moving intersection of technology, data, and law. Today, a topic that doesn't always get the attention it deserves but absolutely should. How to properly offboard your employees, consultants, and independent contractors to avoid data breaches and protect your business. Joining Katherine is Travlaw's Head of Employment Ami Naru.
Katherine welcomes Matt Gatenby (Partner) back to the pod to specify why specifications are specifically important in tech contracts.
Joining Katherine this week is Techlaw's own Conor Askins, and we're getting straight into the world of intellectual property disputes. We'll be covering everything from trademark battles, including the tricky business of passing off, to how to make sure your protected trademarks stay protected!
Conor will also provide tips on cost-effective ways to challenge domain names that tread on your brand, and how to handle copyright disputes without breaking the bank. In the fast-paced online world, a single infringing domain or copied asset can cost you more than just money, it can cost you your reputation!
So whether you're a business owner, legal professional, or just curious about how the law keeps up with this side of tech, this is one conversation you won't want to miss.
We're back!
And to kick off season two, Katherine talks to Nick Parkinson of our sister company Techlaw, the start up bringing fresh energy, plain English and a bit of fun to the legal world of Tech!
We’ll dive into why we launched Techlaw, the unexpected legal traps that catch businesses off guard, and — most importantly — what’s coming next. From AI keeping lawyers up at night, to the one contract headache we’d happily erase forever, we’re exploring the legal future every startup needs to be ready for.
So grab your coffee, plug in your headphones, and join us for a chat about our new venture!
