SUMMARY: Surgent's Understanding Non-Compete Agreements
DESCRIPTION: The enforceability of non-compete agreements in the U.S. is in flux. While the FTC's proposed ban is on hold pending legal proceedings\, existing state laws continue to govern the validity of non-compete clauses. Some states\, like California\, Oklahoma\, and North Dakota\, prohibit non-compete agreements\, while others enforce them under certain conditions.

Although state laws vary\, non-competes are often used to protect the creation and development of corporate goodwill\, customer relationships\, and specialized training\, among others. Today\, employees are more likely to be asked to sign non-compete agreements as a condition of employment. Non-compete agreements are also a common component of a business sale agreement. This program surveys non-compete agreements from all angles\, including the current state of play regarding the usefulness and enforceability of agreements going forward. Whether you advise individual clients or work for an employer\, this course provides an understanding of common issues that arise in the negotiation and enforcement of non-competes.Delivery Method: Individual webcastCPE Credit: 2Program Level: BasicThis course is being offered by a learning partner.
