Broadcast Date: Monday, April 25, 2022
from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)

Overview:

Over the past years, multiple states have enacted and amended laws against unfair competition. However, the push to widen the scope of banning restrictive covenants and non-compete agreements raises concerns among employers, especially in protecting important company assets and trade secrets. This is further challenged by the hybrid and “new normal” work setup because of COVID-19.

Prompted by the increased enforcement focus to promote fair competition in the economy, federal actions limiting restrictive covenants are likely to be seen. Thus, employers must ensure that all existing and future agreements are compliant with relevant state laws and must contain adequate protection.

Listen as a panel of thought leaders and practitioners organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with the latest legislative developments surrounding restrictive covenants and non-compete agreements. Speakers will offer best strategies for businesses to ensure compliance and protection at the same time.

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

  • Overview of the Law Of Restrictive Covenant and Non-Compete Agreements
  • Drafting Issues and Practical Tips for Restrictive Covenant Agreements in 2022
  • Relevant Cases
  • Litigating Restrictive Covenant Cases
  • Recent Trends in State-Level Restrictive Covenant Law
