Don’t miss this hot topic presentation that discusses the recent amendment to the Illinois Freedom of Work Act, which imposes salary requirements for the enforceability of all non-competition and non-solicitation agreements in Illinois that are executed after January 1, 2022. These significant changes impact the strategies and risks of companies as they protect their intellectual property. 

Labor and employment law attorneys, business advice lawyers, general practitioners, and corporate law counsel with basic practice experience who attend this online seminar will better understand: the substantive Illinois common law on restrictive covenants, which the statute codifies; the salary thresholds that limit which employees can sign non-compete and non-solicitation agreements; the additional requirements imposed by the statute, including the 14-day notice period for employees to review such agreements, the potential recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and the protection for employees who are separated from employment due to COVID-19 (or similar circumstances); and the strategies your client can use to protect their intellectual property in light of the new amendment requirements.
