More than 30 million workers — at least 18% of the US workforce — are required to sign non-competes as a condition of employment. And yet less than 10% of workers negotiate these clauses. These include a wide range of workers, from supply chain executives to sandwich makers to manufacturers. This session will discuss:

• What is a post-employment restrictive covenant?

• The prevalence of non-competes in the United States.

• Factors that influence the enforceability of a non-compete.

• How non-competes are enforced and how courts exercise discretion to partially enforce or even rewrite overly broad non-competes.

• The disproportionate impact of non-competes on women and people of color.

• The push for regulation on non-competes.
