ALBANY –The New York State Bar Association and its Labor and Employment Law Section will sponsor an intermediate-to-advanced level course focusing on strategies, procedures, discovery and litigation techniques for handling the growing number of workplace “non-compete” cases that result in litigation.
Program participants will receive an overview of the current law governing non-compete arrangements and faculty will address hands-on practical considerations from an employee and a company point of view that lawyers must know in handling “non-compete” cases. Other topics include recommended ways to prepare cases, the necessity of properly evaluating a case and counseling clients on the pros and cons of litigation. Real-world ethical pitfalls and dilemmas often encountered in drafting non-compete agreements, counseling clients and protecting trade secrets will be highlighted.
This seminar was created in response to the growing number of employment contracts that include ”non-compete” clauses, which prohibit employees from accepting positions with firms doing similar work for a specified amount of time after the termination of their current contracts.
Co-sponsored by the Association’s Committee on Continuing Legal Education, “Employment Law Litigation Institute: Litigating Non-Compete Cases in New York” will be presented December 2 at The Princeton Club of New York in Manhattan.
The session will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. For information, contact the Association’s registrar at (800) 582-2452 or 518/463-3724.
Overall planning chairs for the seminar are Michael A. Curley of Manhattan (Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP); Arnold H. Pedowitz of Manhattan (Law Offices of Arnold Pedowitz); Richard K. Zuckerman of Melville (Lamb & Barnosky LLP), chair of the Labor and Employment Law Section; and Alan M. Koral of Manhattan (Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C.), chair of the CLE Committee, Labor and Employment Law Section.
Faculty includes Hon. Leonard B. Austin of Mineola (Justice of the state Supreme Court, 10th Judicial District); Ronald G. Dunn of Albany (Gleason, Dunn, Walsh & O’Shea); Robert D. Kraus of Manhattan (Kraus & Zuchlewski LLP); Laura S. Schnell of Manhattan (Eisenberg & Schnell LLP); and Jonathan A. Wexler of Manhattan (Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C.).
The program has been approved for 7.5 MCLE credit, including 1.0 credit hour in ethics and 6.5 credit hours in skills, practice management and/or areas of professional practice for all attorneys, except those newly admitted to the bar. Because this is not a basic-level course, it cannot be used by recently admitted attorneys for New York MCLE credit.
Early registration received or postmarked 10 days prior to the session will be $190 for NYSBA members and $270 for non-members. Those who register within 10 days of the program should call (800) 582-2452 or 518/463-3724 to verify that the program is not sold out or that the date or location has not been changed.
