Who Should Attend

Business owners; C-Suite Executives; Employees who are interested in learning whether they need to abide by their Non-Compete Agreements.

Why Should You Attend

If you have a non-compete agreement (i.e. you are a worker), have had your workers sign a non-compete agreement (i.e. you are an employer) or if your business is considering them for your workforce, you need to know the current state of the law better understand your rights as either a worker or an employer.

Not understanding the current state of the law can be costly in several ways, including due to potential enforcement actions coming from the FTC and NLRB, or claimant attorneys who may enforce a state-specific statutory ban (or limitation).

If you employ people, you need to know alternative measures out there to protect your confidential information and trade secrets (aside from non-compete agreements).

Topic Background
