Keeping Secrets - Non-Competes and Restrictive Covenants
Seven Steps to Turn Losses Into Wins

|
All too often employers that resort to judicial action to enforce restrictive covenants leave court empty-handed or with half a loaf at best. That should, however, be the exception instead of the rule.
This presentation will set forth corporate protection strategies that can be effectively employed by companies to maintain the upper hand when it comes to restrictive covenants with key executives and salespersons. Those strategies should usually produce two desirable results: first, complete or near complete success enforcing restrictive covenants in court; or second (and better yet), a deterrent that causes key employees to either remain employed or to honor their restrictive covenants.
