Open Meeting - Primer on Marijuana in the Workplace and Non-Competes for In-House Counsel
Wednesday, June 13, 12-2 p.m.
MBA, 20 West St., Boston
The MBA's Business Law Council, Labor and Employment Council, and Young Lawyers Division are teaming up to bring you an excellent, condensed two-panel event addressing business risk and employment issues involving licensed marijuana use, and the application of non-compete agreements to in-house counsel.
Why come? Ever wonder what you will advise as outside or inside counsel for a corporate client that has an employee taking medical or recreational marijuana and is not happy about it, or an employee who is taking it and afraid to let an employer know? If you are in-house counsel, or are hiring in-house counsel, or counseling an employer or an in-house counsel, what is the applicability of a non-compete agreement to a new legal or non-legal job with a competitor? What are the risks for various actions by the employer or in-house employee? In addition, what's happening with the non-competition legislation in Massachusetts, and what will happen practically if a version passes?
