Abstract

Fisher Phillips partners Matthew Korn and Jonathan Crook will present on the current legal status of non-compete agreements and other contract provisions that can protect your confidential information and key relationships.

From the Federal Trade Commission to the National Labor Relations Board and the state laws in between, these important contracts are under unprecedented scrutiny.

Matthew and Jonathan will discuss the current legal and political landscape for these agreements, best practices for using them, and the practical considerations for hiring and terminating employees who may be subject to restrictive covenants.

If you’re currently using, considering using, or hiring someone subject to a non-compete or other employment agreement, you don’t want to miss this webinar!
