The Valley Current ®: James Pooley on Interstate Non-Compete Competition - a podcast by Computer Law Group

Should businesses be allowed to sue employees who leave for a rival company? Right now, state laws are being questioned on just how far companies can enforce their contracts. Currently, Washington based Amazon is suing a former employee who left to fill a similar role for Google in California. The problem? The employee under fire signed a non-compete agreement in Washington which is not recognized California and is even prohibited by the state!

Jack Russo asks trade secret guru, James Pooley, what do you do with employees who move from one company to another where the culture and laws are at odds with one another.
