: Legal Pad | LACalif. high court kicks moribund noncompete clauses closer to the grave
By Jason Siegel

The ruling held that employers may not restrain departing workers by imposing terms that forbid that employee working with his old clients after joining a rival employer.
California now has the most restrictive controls on employer use of noncompete clauses in contracts of any state, according to Richard Frank, who specializes in employment and business litigation.
