Speaker

John F. Hyland
Rukin Hyland LLP

In an effort to protect their intellectual property and confidential information, and their customer and employee relationships, and to limit competitive injury from former employees, companies nationwide require employees to sign a variety of restrictive covenants that govern their employment and continue in effect after the employment relationships ends. Whether working with employers or individuals, advising clients in California on restrictive covenants requires an understanding of all applicable laws - including California law, federal law, and the law of other states - the challenges and limitations of these agreements, the context in which issues arise, and the options and strategies for resolution. This program will provide an introduction and overview of each of these topics and will focus on providing clients practical advice.

Topics

• California Business & Professions Code § 16600: Understanding its reach, its limits, and its effects
• Non-solicit agreements: What California does and does not allow
• Confidential & Proprietary Information Agreements: Balancing a company’s interest in broad and all-inclusive protection against the limits imposed by law, the realities of business, and principles of contract
• Choice of Law and Venue Provisions: Avoiding California law and California courts
