When it comes to non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, each state has a specific set of rules and guidelines affecting enforceability. Alabama law on these issues is particularly unique. In 2015, Alabama updated its statute governing restrictive covenants. The new statute implemented some changes to the then-existing state of the law, but also failed to answer many questions. This panel will discuss recent developments affecting Alabama's non-compete laws and everything a business needs to know when drafting, enforcing, or defending a restrictive covenant in the Yellowhammer state.

ACC Houston August Chapter Meeting CLE - The Woodlands Location Hot Topics in Construction Contracting August 24, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Landry's Seafood House
Given the impacts of Covid-19, the supply chain crunch, world events, and changes in the law there are certainly new things to consider when entering into a construction contract and managing a construction project. Some of these concepts like force majeure and price escalations will apply to other types of commercial arrangements too. The following is a list of hot topics that are coming up frequently:
1. Force Majeure Clauses
2. Price Escalations Clauses
3. Contracting Methods (Does Cost Plus a fee or Cost Plus a fee up to a GMP make more sense now?)
4. Considerations for permitting the early purchase and storage of materials (What do I need to be concerned with?)
