DESCRIPTION:Over the last 10 years\, there have been numerous legislative attempts in Massachusetts to limit - and in some cases do away with - non-compete agreements. All of them have stalled\, and the law in this area remains largely judge-made. However\, in recent months\, several bills have been filed that appear to have a significant amount of overlap\, suggesting that 2018 may be the year that a consensus emerges around comprehensive legislative reform when it comes to enforcement of these post-employment restrictions.\n\n \n\nThis seminar is a 'must-attend' for any employer who uses non-competes in its workplace. It is ideally suited to senior level management and HR professionals who grapple with employees' post-employment obligations\, and how to enforce them\, as well as senior level executives who are subject to non-competes and have questions regarding their enforceability. Topics addressed in this seminar will include\, among others:\n\n The current lay of the land in Massachusetts when it comes to non-compete enforcement.\n Common mistakes employers make when trying to enforce their non-competes against departing employees (and strategies on how to enforce a non-compete agreement without full-blown litigation).\n An overview of current legislative attempts to reform non-compete law in Massachusetts.\n Steps employers should consider taking now to protect their interests going forward.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nMark A. Mosby\, Chief Legal Counsel\, Fallon Health\n\nTimothy Van Dyck\, Practice Area Leader\, Labor & Employment Group\, Bowditch \n\nRobert Young\, Partner\, Labor & Employment Group\, Bowditch\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\nBreakfast will be served.

Coukos\, Executive Vice President & General Counsel at Cambridge Savings Bank. See our website to register for the April 3 event.)
