Lessons Learned in the First Month of the Mass Non-Compete Law

On October 1, legislation was passed in Massachusetts regulating the use and enforcement of non-compete agreements in the private sector. The effect on companies has been wide-reaching, and included anticipated changes as well as some effects employers may not have seen coming.

Speakers Erik Winton and Stephen Paterniti will discuss:

• How to address ambiguities within the language of the statute
• Using legislative history to help interpret the statute
• Adequacy of consideration reconsidered: The Garden Leave vs. “Other mutually agreed-upon consideration”
• When current employees should sign new agreements
• Multi-state employer issues
