Overview:

In 2016, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued its Joint Guidance for Human Resources Professionals on no-poach agreements. Since then, the Antitrust Division has continuously emphasized its initiatives in scrutinizing potential anticompetitive employment agreements.

With the heightened regulatory investigation on no-poach agreements, companies are confronted with a myriad of challenges including exposure to lawsuits and enforcement actions. To manage these risks, businesses must revisit their practices and policies on employment agreements as well as keep themselves abreast with emerging developments in antitrust law.

In a LIVE CLE program, The Knowledge Group has brought together a distinguished panel of thought leaders and practitioners to provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the DOJ’s recent enforcement initiatives on no-poach agreements. Speakers will also present emerging regulatory trends and developments in antitrust law and offer the best compliance practices as well as tips in drafting standard employment agreements to avoid legal liabilities.

This course will discuss the following key provisions:

  • No-Poach Agreements: Enforcement Trends and Statistics
  • Regulatory Updates in Antitrust Law
  • Notable Cases and Court Rulings
  • Risk Mitigation Strategies
  • Drafting Standard Employment Agreements
  • Best Compliance Practices

Agenda:

SEGMENT 1:

Matthew ModellAttorney

Shearman & Sterling

  • What is a no-poach agreement and why they are potentially illegal
  • FTC & DOJ HR guidance
  • When no-poach agreements are per se illegal; generally permissible conduct, situations that may require further review

SEGMENT 2:

Dr. Michael I. Cragg, Principal

The Brattle Group, Inc.

  • There are well established efficiency reasons for no-poach agreements related to employer investments in training and development.  The mix of general and specific human capital investment is an important consideration.
  • These considerations are especially important in forming joint ventures because ownership over contributed assets is often an important component of the JV economics.
  • Another important consideration is that wage growth within a firm is more important for low educated workers whereas wage growth from moving is more important for college educated workers therefore effects are going to differ by quite a bit if we are in a franchise setting versus a professional services setting.
  • Therefore market definition and the impact that those involved in the no-poach agreement plays a very important role.  The market for low-skilled labor is far broader than high-skilled labor and the market for high skilled-labor specific to particular occupations can be narrower still.
  • The language of no-poach agreements have swept up a variety of different contract clauses whose economic impacts differ. No-call and no-hire are different restrictions, especially when there is a geographic component.

SEGMENT 3:

Kenina J. Lee, Counsel

Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP

  • DOJ Enforcement of No-Poach
  • Special Focus on Franchise No-Poach Cases
  • Circuit Split on Standard of Review
  • Overview of Relevant Cases
