April 26, 2022: Noncompetition Agreements – An Endangered Species? What You Can Do to Protect Your Business Interests

Noncompetition Agreements have been an employer’s traditional mechanism to protect against critical employees leaving to work for competitors and to stop confidential information and trade secrets from walking out the door. Long since viewed with skepticism by courts, such agreements are now under outright attack, as states and the District of Columbia have passed significant limitations, and even outright bans, on who can be covered by a non-compete agreement. The Biden administration is also encouraging the Federal Trade Commission to ban or limit non-compete agreements. In this session, we will discuss the breadth of recent legislative actions and provide employers with creative and practical suggestions as to how they lawfully can protect their legitimate business interests in this current environment.

Should you have any questions or prefer to register by email, please contact Emily Hillman at MasterClass@bakerlaw.com.

We look forward to having you join us for this premier event.
