Drafting and negotiating restrictive covenants or litigating covenants and trade secrets issues at the international level is no simple task. Now there is a treatise that provides detailed comprehensive assistance for the drafting, negotiating, and litigating processes, with information provided by attorneys in key countries around the world. Restrictive Covenants and Trade Secrets in Employment Law: An International Survey, Volume II explores the differences between the U.S. and countries in the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Oceana, and Africa in regulating noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions and in imposing restrictions related to confidential information and trade secrets, as well as the use of garden leave and restrictions on equity compensation in this area. The survey also identifies and analyzes the privacy concerns that arise when employers try to restrict employees' disclosures, conduct investigations concerning possible violations, or monitor compliance. Each country-specific chapter is written by highly-regarded local lawyers and examines:

  • Applicable country law, international conventions, and treaties
  • Practical issues in drafting restrictive covenants
  • Practical issues, strategies, and tactics in trade secret protection and enforcement
  • Forum options
  • Jurisdiction
  • Discovery

The 2011 Supplement to Volume II provides additional coverage including:

  • An added chapter on Israel
  • The new Data Privacy Law and 2011 implementing regulations in Mexico
  • Management compensation reporting as required by the new Company Law in China
  • The discovery process in Hong Kong
  • Civil court jurisdiction over actions for breach of a restrictive covenant based on a contract in the Philippines

Restrictive Covenants and Trade Secrets in Employment Law: An International Survey, Volume II, with 2011 Supplement was edited by Wendi S. Lazar, a partner at Outten & Golden LLP, New York, NY, and Gary R. Siniscalco, a partner in the San Francisco, CA, office of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.
