Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoIn the increasing war for talent, businesses have to be more proactive than ever in protecting their business interests, whether that is their confidential information, trade secrets or the stability of their workforce. One way businesses have used to protect their interests is through the use of restrictive covenants and non-compete clauses in employment contracts.
Given that states in the US and countries across Europe have enjoyed the individual freedom to regulate this area, we have been working with a patchwork of different approaches to restrictive covenants and non-compete clauses, but there are some common themes. There are also fundamental changes proposed in the US and Europe with legislators seeking to abolish or restrict the use of non-compete clauses, which could significantly reduce the protection available for employers going forward.
In this seminar we will explore:
1. The FTC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
2. State trends
3. Other global trends
4. Potential pitfalls for businesses
