We hosted a meeting organized in collaboration with the ACFE Italy Chapte<\/strong>r, focusing on trade secrets as assets for economic exploitation and strategic levers for businesses.<\/p>\n

Through the analysis of a real-world case study and a practical simulation, the event provided a valuable opportunity for a multidisciplinary discussion on the dynamics of trade secret protection\u2014covering both the preventive stage and the contentious phase should a dispute arise.<\/p>\n

The meeting opened with an introduction by Elena Farinella<\/strong>, President of the ACFE Italy Chapter. Presentations followed from our own Licia Garotti<\/strong>, Partner in the Intellectual Property and Technology Law department; Stefano Solida<\/strong>, a criminal defense lawyer at Studio Isolabella; and Michele Cogo<\/strong>, Director of Digital Forensics & Cybersecurity at BDO Italia.<\/p>\n

The event offered an opportunity to reflect on the critical importance of establishing adequate protection measures before a dispute arises, particularly regarding sensitive assets such as production processes, chemical formulas, proprietary technologies, corporate know-how, and commercial strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
