Description

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 resulted from bribery of foreign government officials by Lockheed Aircraft Company. This Act is designed to prevent the bribing of foreign officials in order to obtain foreign government contracts. Payments to foreign officials for â€œfacilitation,â€ often referred to as grease payments, are not prohibited under FCPA so long as these payments are made only to get officials to do their normal jobs that they might not do, or would do slowly, without some payment. These payments can be made only to secure a permit or license; obtain paper processing; secure police protection; provide phone, water, or power supply; or similar such actions.

FAQ

Reasonableness: Non-compete agreements must be reasonable in terms of their scope and duration. This means that the restrictions must be no broader than necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the employer, such as protecting trade secrets, confidential information, and/or customer relationships.

Even workers labeled as “independent contractors”—who should have the freedom to work for multiple clients—are often required to sign non-competes that limit where they can work. Employers often present non-competes as a “take it or leave it” contract, forcing workers either to sign or forego employment.

The ban covers all non-competes for U.S. workers (including employees and independent contractors) with limited carve-outs, and is subject to certain exceptions based on the FTC's statutory authority.

Under California law, it's illegal to enforce non-compete agreements that put limits on an employee's future job prospects. ing to California Business and Professions Code Section 16600, any contract that restricts an individual from “engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business” is null and void.

Texas will enforce a non-compete agreement if it meets certain criteria: It must be included with another agreement (such as an employment offer), and be in exchange for “consideration” (i.e. something in return, such as specialized training or confidential information).

(c) Employee name agrees not to set up in business as a direct competitor of company name within a radius of number miles of company name and location for a period of number and measure of time (e.g., “four months” or “10 years”) following the expiration or termination of this agreement.

Some states (California and a few others) have made non-competes void by statute, but even in states that have not passed anti-non-compete laws, courts have been trending toward avoiding enforcement of these provisions (in favor of the employee) for years.

The Employee specifically agrees that for a period of _____ months/years after the Employee is no longer employed by the Company, the Employee will not engage, directly or indirectly, either as proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, employee or otherwise, in the same or similar activities as were performed for ...

As previously reported (Dentons Alert), the US Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued a regulation earlier this year that effectively bans most non-competes for employees and independent contractors (the “FTC Rule”). The effective date of the FTC Rule is September 4, 2024.

Typically, a noncompete agreement prohibits you from working for a competitor until a set period has passed, but it may additionally ban you from completing the following actions: Starting your own company in the same industry. Contacting former customers. Utilizing skills you learned on the job.

In Texas, there is no prohibition against binding an independent contractor to a noncompete agreement. If a non-compete agreement is deemed to be unreasonable and therefore unenforceable, a Texas court can then modify the agreement to make it legally compliant.These essential clauses help to avoid potential misunderstandings and disputes between the contractor and the client. For a noncompete to be enforceable in Texas, it must be seen as a reasonable mechanism to protect an employer's legitimate business interests. A noncompete clause prevents the contractor from establishing a competing business within a certain timeframe or area. Thus, while binding an independent contractor is possible under the Texas noncompete statute, the usual statutory requirements must be observed. At the Law Office of Jeffrey A.
