Reminder: KCON Zoom Panel Today!
Post-employment restrictions are in the news. President Biden mentioned them in his July 9 executive order. In July, the Uniform Law Commission approved a uniform act governing covenants not to compete. Illinois, Nevada, and D.C. have recently enacted legislation.
Should competition law should play a role in regulating such terms? This panel will generate wisdom in that regard.
