It’s not only the substance and effect of noncompete agreements, but also disputes over where and how to adjudicate them, that breeds litigation, and thus work for attorneys.
Contracts often include forum-selection and choice-of-law provisions to steer litigation toward a favorable environment, and companies with employees in California are adding such provisions to their noncompetes because of that state’s ban, according to Jed Marcus, co-chair of the labor and employment law practice group at Bressler, Amery & Ross in Florham Park.
