This guide covers restrictive covenants and employee mobility from drafting through enforcement. Part One maps the state-law spectrum that decides most cases. Part Two covers the reasonableness analysis and the protectable interests. Part Three covers nonsolicitation, nondisclosure, forfeiture, and garden leave. Part Four covers trade secret law as the parallel and often superior remedy. Part Five covers the federal overlay: antitrust, labor law, rulemaking, and computer access. Part Six covers the departure sequence and the litigation that follows. Part Seven covers drafting for enforceability, and Part Eight covers advice by posture for employees, employers, and hiring companies.
