Are your employees' LinkedIn connections your trade secrets? | Clayton Utz
there will come a day when one employee with over 1000 LinkedIn connections
logs out of LinkedIn on the computer your business has generously provided
to him for several years, shuts down that computer, walks into HR and
resigns from the firm. The next day, he starts working with your
competitor.

In years gone by, he might have surreptitiously taken a client list with
him, slyly flashed it at his new principal, and set about soliciting work
from his former employer's clients. Misappropriating and using the client
list in this way would very likely have amounted to a breach of confidence,
for which your business could have sought injunctive relief and, later,
damages. Now, however, he simply logs into LinkedIn, trawls his 1000+
connections and sends "InMails" to a targeted set of potential "new"
clients.
