Lawson Lundell Insight Featured in LexisNexis Canada's August Employment and Labour Law Reporter Newsletter

Lawson Lundell is pleased to announce that an insight co-authored by Rachel Wollenberg and Tristan Kimball has been featured in the August issue of LexisNexis Canada’s Employment and Labour Law Reporter.

The insight post, "Restrictive Covenants: Comparing Employment Contracts and Commercial Agreements," asks: Are your non-compete clauses actually enforceable?

While commercial restrictive covenants are typically upheld, such restrictions in an employment context face higher judicial scrutiny and are frequently struck down due to unreasonableness or ambiguity. Additionally, upcoming federal legislation may soon impact federally regulated employers.

Rachel and Tristan break down how the court’s analysis varies when considering these clauses in commercial or employment contexts, review recent case law, and outline what pending legislative updates mean for your business.

LexisNexis Canada's Employment and Labour Law Reporter is a subscription-based, national monthly newsletter written from the perspectives of both management and labour, providing timely updates on key developments in employment and labour law.
