Confidentiality Provisions in Employment Agreements
Kelli P. Lieurance
The NLRB has declared war on confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions in severance and settlement agreements. Not only does this affect the language you use in future agreements, but the NLRB’s decisions have retroactive effect. Are your agreements compliant? What do you do if they are not?

Protecting Your Business and Your Images
Halle A. Hayhurst
It is important to understand how to legally use images within your business and how to protect the images you own the rights to. Without the right licensing, you could receive a cease and desist letter demanding compensation and without the right monitoring, your images could be used without your consent in a manner that doesn’t align with your business practices.
Children’s Data Privacy Protection – The Online Playground Is Getting Crowded
