OA291: Wildcard, Clownhorns! (Non-Compete Clauses & More)

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today's SUPER SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE tackles a bunch of issues that came up during the week that we didn't want to get buried on the whiteboard, including the <em>Flores</em> settlement, a deep dive into non-compete clauses, and a really good Andrew Was Right & Wrong segment about the Hatch Act. It's everything you love about Opening Arguments, only more so!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin with an examination of the oral arguments before the 9th Circuit regarding ICE detainment centers and whether those comply with the conditions mandated by the <em>Flores</em> settlement that require "safe and sanitary" conditions for minors separated from their families at the border.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After that, it's time for a deep dive into a really good listener question from Erin regarding covenants not to compete. Learn all about the "Legitimate Business Interest" (LBI) test and how to gauge whether a noncompete clause is (likely) enforceable, plus learn about the recent economic and political trends surrounding noncompetes that may surprise you.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then, it's time for a very insightful set of comments from a listener regarding the Hatch Act; it's an Andrew Was Right/Andrew Was Wrong compliment sandwich, but we all wind up better for it!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>No #TTTBE this episode since it's a special bonus.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Appearances</span></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>None!
