About this Event
Restrictive covenants are enforced under the standards of reasonableness, recognizing the balance between protection and free competition. However, significant criticisms and issues such as unfair restrictions on employee mobility have aroused which prompted several states to pass legislations geared toward fostering workers’ welfare. In July 2021, President Biden also issued an Executive Order to promote fair competition and tasked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to curtail employers’ ability to use non-compete clauses and restrictive covenants.
With the shifting regulatory paradigm, employers and practitioners alike should carefully review their restrictive covenant agreements and stay in the loop with any forthcoming developments to ensure compliance and avoid legal risks.
Listen as experienced commercial litigators Jennifer Corinis (Greenberg Traurig, LLP) and Charles Galvin (Frost Brown Todd) provide a comprehensive discussion of the current and emerging regulatory trends on restrictive covenants under the Biden administration. Speakers, among other things, will offer practical tips and compliance strategies in this constantly changing legal landscape.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:
- Restrictive Covenants Under the Biden Administration: Latest Developments
- Common Issues on the Use of Restrictive Covenants
