Non-Compete Agreements, Confidentiality Agreements and Other Restrictions on Employee Competition
Co-sponsored by the CBA Litigation Section
Program Highlights:
- The Law of Restrictive Employment Covenants
- The Necessity and Limitations on Confidentiality Agreements
- Statutory Protection of Trade Secrets
- Employee and Employer Rights at Common Law
- Litigation: Risks and Realities
- Checklists for Drafting and Enforceability of Non-Compete Agreements
Program Description:
When and how should restrictive covenants like non-compete agreements be used? Can they be enforced? How broad can they be? Should the employer try to enforce them? Is a non-solicit agreement subject to the same rules? Can you sue the new employer? Is there any way to protect the company from "raiding?' Can I hire a person who has signed a non-compete? Can employees prepare to compete while they are still on my payroll? Are employees free to do what they want after they leave if they do not have a non-compete? Are customer lists trade secrets? Why do I need more than a confidentiality agreement? When is injunctive relief likely to be granted or rejected? What can I expect in non-compete trade secret litigation? These and many other questions are explored in this practical program for all those who draft, enforce or seek to avoid restrictive employment covenants.
