As businesses expand across borders and employees increasingly move between countries and employers, employers need to take special care to protect their hard earned advantages. Restrictive covenants and particularly non-compete and non-solicitation agreements play a key role in most competitive businesses. However, these agreements are only good if they are enforceable and international standards are far from uniform. Employers need to understand this changing area of the law so that they can take steps now to improve their restrictive covenants and reduce their risks. This webinar will address the general principles applied to evaluating restrictive covenants in France, England and Wales, Germany and the United States.Join us for our international labor and employment webinar, which in one hour, will answer the following questions.
- Which employees may be subject to a non-compete agreement?
- How long is too long for a non-compete agreement?
- Do global restrictive covenants work?
- What remedy or damages are available?
- How quickly can you obtain relief if a former employee breaches his agreement?
- What is garden leave and why should you care?
