7/6/2011
The alert focuses on two recent cases applying Massachusetts law, which signal a willingness by state and federal courts to enforce even very broad noncompetition agreements. The cases discussed are Empirix Inc. v. Alexy Ivanov and Aspect Software, Inc. v. Gary Barnett. It is suggested that employers should contact counsel to draft or review noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements to protect their confidential information and trade secrets.
