Massachusetts contract law is evolving.  Effective October 1, 2018, employers’ ability to enter into valid and enforceable non-competition agreements with their employees will change dramatically.  Did you know that non-exempt employees can’t be prohibited from competing, or that non-competes, in most cases, must be limited to 12 months?  We previously summarized the new law here.

Join Attorneys Marylou Fabbo and Timothy F. Murphy of Skoler, Abbott & Presser, P.C., one of the leading labor and employment law firms serving employers in New England, for a breakfast briefing on the benefits of entering into non-competition and/or arbitration agreements with employees.  Among other things, the briefing will cover the following topics:

• An overview of the new non-compete statute
• What constitutes an enforceable non-competition agreement
• What restrictions on competition are prohibited
• What is an arbitration agreement, and how it can benefit your organization
• When and how to require an employee to agree to arbitrate employment claims
• What’s involved in the arbitration process
