Event Summary
In the ever-evolving intersection of antitrust laws and labor markets, “No-Poach Agreements” have emerged as a complex and contentious issue. These agreements, which involve companies agreeing not to hire each other’s employees, have attracted considerable attention from legal, economic, and business perspectives.
No-poach agreements, innocuous at first glance, have profound implications on competition, wages, and labor market dynamics. Their legal status and economic impact have sparked debates and enforcement actions. Antitrust regulations, historically applied to price-fixing and market allocation, now extend their reach to scrutinize these labor market practices
