Overbroad non compete agreement
N/AOUTCOME: The parties reached a favorable settlement of the litigation.
A salesperson for a Massachusetts carton manufacturing company retained SLN after his employment was terminated and he was unable to accept a job offer due to his non compete agreement. The non compet ... e agreement was very broad, and sought to block his employment anywhere in the packaging industry, anywhere in the world, for a year and a half. SLN commenced litigation seeking a declaratory judgment that the non compete agreement was unenforceable and damages from the former employer.
