______

Corporate human resources professionals and attorneysare increasingly confronted with the issues of employee restrictive covenants when hiring and also transferring employees and executives. These issues cross jurisdictions within the US and world wide. If a US corporation hires an executive based in one location, either in the U.S .or overseas and transfers her to another location in the United States or overseas, is the non-compete agreement the executive signed still valid and enforceable in her new location? The law has not kept pace with the global realities of business today. You can not just take your standard corporate form anduse it world-wide or even throughout the United States.

This programwilladdressthe enforceability of various types ofrestrictive covenants:

·  non-competes,

·  non-solicitation of clients/co-workers,

·  non-disclosure obligationsand

·  ownership of work product

and the enforceability of such covenants, including determining adequate consideration,reasonable duration, reasonableness ofgeographic restrictions,jurisdiction and governing law clauses and other provisions,from both the US perspective (with an emphasis on NY and CT) and the International perspective ( Canada, Europe, Latin America, and China).
