Believed by many to be critical
to their business, loathed by others as a limitation on innovation, and
criticized by some as being overused and implemented in unfair ways,

proposed sweeping legislation that would significantly restrict the
enforceability of noncompetition agreements under Massachusetts law. Join
these legislators, as well as the principal drafter of the legislation, in a
discussion about the proposed legislation.
