Abstract
The ever-changing landscape of non-compete law continues to give rise to significant developments that companies need to be aware of. Recently, several new state laws have been adopted to limit non-compete agreements’ enforceability, thus, further complicating matters for employers. At the federal level, the Freedom to Compete Act has been introduced in the Senate to prohibit non-compete pacts for minimum wage earners. Moreover, with a pandemic in the backdrop, many other issues have also emerged.
As efforts to protect one’s business interests get more complicated and challenging, it is becoming more imperative for employers to be proactive in reassessing their current practices and changing them according to current regulatory developments and issues.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they delve into an in-depth discussion of the current trends, developments, and critical issues in non-compete law. Speakers will also offer the best compliance practices and practical tips in managing potential legal risks and liabilities.
