Large multinational corporations face complex challenges when trying to protect their businesses from competition. Many organizations are starting to require that all senior employees around the globe have two-year noncompete agreements. Is this a solution your organization is considering? A global panel of in-house and employment and benefits attorneys will discuss this scenario in an interactive, 90-minute program. The panelists will explore and discuss some of the essential questions that global employers must be asking their counsel: Is it possible or desirable to have a global noncompete? Is there a preferred duration? Does an employee need to be paid? What is a garden leave and what are the best terms to include? Are there other restrictive covenants allowed? You will be encouraged to offer your own scenarios and questions for comment.
