About This Webinar
Recent legislation (SB 699 and AB 1076) has implications for non-compete agreements in California. These laws void non-compete agreements and require employers to notify employees that any such agreements they may have signed are void. This change in California’s employment landscape, requires adjustments in drafting and updating employment contracts.
In this webinar, our speakers addressed key laws and industry trends, as well as practical suggestions for how companies can develop effective strategies to protect their interests, retain top talent, and foster innovation in an increasingly competitive market landscape.
This 1-hour presentation includes:
- A review of recent legal developments surrounding no-poach, non-solicitation, and non-compete agreements
- Discussion on the enforceability of non-compete agreements, including factors such as geography, scope, duration, and the legitimate business interests of the employer
- Strategies for mitigating legal risks and potential litigation through effective procedure drafting, employee education, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms
- Realities and new FTC regulations, patient non-solicitation/advisory rules, employee mobility, no-poach agreements, and antitrust
- Importance of regularly reviewing and updating agreements in accordance with changing laws and industry standards
