“Employment Related Restrictions”

Whether found in employment agreements or embodied in agreements directly among employers, employment related restrictions come in many different forms and carry different legal implications. These restrictions include covenants not to compete, agreements not to solicit customers or other employees, trade secrets and confidentiality provisions, and employer no-poach agreements. This seminar will provide an overview of the various types of restrictive covenants and agreements and the legal implications of each. In addition, this seminar will address the current trends in related enforcement actions both at the federal and state levels.

 E. John Steren leverages his more than 30 years of health care antitrust and litigation experience to help health care clients manage the risks of joint ventures and other business arrangements and to defend them against government investigations and enforcement actions. He also provides counseling and litigation services to employers in connection with non-competition and pricing-related issues. Among John’s clients are large health care providers (or provider groups), such as hospitals and health care systems, physicians, ambulatory surgery center corporations, and other specialty care providers (e.g., chains of urological care or anesthesia providers). His clients also include large retail chains, commercial and residential lenders, and product manufacturers and distributors. For health care clients, John provides advice on whether their conduct, typically undertaken in an effort to improve upon the delivery of care or in response to the changing landscape of the markets in which they compete, raises any antitrust issues. Clients also rely on John’s advice on expansion-related issues (i.e., mergers and acquisitions), competitor collaborations, networking issues, payor contracting issues, information exchanges, enforcement actions, and third-party related defenses.  For employers, John provides counseling and litigation services relating to the protection of trade secrets, the development and enforcement of non-compete agreements, and pricing and price discrimination.
