Surviving the Noncompete Surge Wednesday, April 9, 2008 Over the past three years, the number of noncompete lawsuits has increased by 43%; over the past decade, the number has nearly doubled. To stay competitive, employers in today’s knowledge economy have to find the best talent to succeed, and then keep their rivals from luring that talent away. As a result, more companies are finding themselves embroiled in noncompete litigation. And today’s courts are scrutinizing noncompete agreements more closely than ever. The lawyers advising these companies have to know how the litigation will play out in Massachusetts courts. Our panel of noncompete experts will help you steer your clients around the many landmines in this fast-moving, fast-changing area of law. Hear from two practitioners who have handled hundreds of these cases between them; a general counsel with the in-house, real-world view of noncompetes; and the judge who presided over more noncompete litigation than any other Massachusetts jurist.
