Whether you are the buyer or seller, there are employment elements you must consider in M&A transactions. Join Laura Windsor, Chair of the firm’s Labor, Employment and Immigration Section and Forbes Thompson, a Partner in our M&A Practice, for a discussion on what you should look for in your next deal. Key topics will include:
Defining restrictive covenants and their key elements, including duration, scope, and defining the legitimate business interest.
Key considerations for both the seller and buyer to enhance likelihood of enforceability.
Nuts and bolts of restrictive covenants in a purchase and sale context; and the need for two sets of covenants: one in the purchase agreement and one in the employment agreement.
Relevant state laws and impacts on enforceability.
