Practice Tip: Non-Competition Agreements
Non-competition agreements between employers and employees will be held invalid under Section 16600 , even if narrowly drawn, unless they fall within one of the recognized statutory exceptions to 16600. The ruling solidifies how different California's laws are from other states in the areas of employee mobility and competition.

California Secretary of State Proposes Regulating Business Entity Names
The Secretary of State has proposed regulations that, among other things, will provide specific guidelines to assist the public in evaluating whether a proposed business entity name would not be deceptively similar or misleading. The period to comment on the proposal closed February 6.
Networking Opportunities with Colleagues
With record-breaking interest, this year’s use of our section's online forum has opened opportunities to connect with peers.
It has enabled all of us to learn from each other, to pose questions, and to share our collective body of knowledge within our areas of expertise.
Several event-wide functions offer the chance to discover surprising synergies with colleagues in our field of practice, while smaller gatherings, such as conferences and seminars hosted by LACBA, let you engage with attorneys in various specialties within the broad range of Business and Corporate Law.
