Report Link Non-Compete Agreements Automatically Became Property of Successor Company, Tennessee Court Holds.
Jackson Lewis LLP - May 01, 2008
When the owner of a meat processing company changed his business from a sole proprietorship to a corporation, his assignment of all business assets to the new entity automatically included the non-compete agreements entered into years earlier with two independent contractors, the Tennessee Court of Appeals has ruled. This is the first case in that state to address the issue of whether such contracts can pass to a successor company without the express acquiescence of all parties.
Report Link New Law Specifies Physicians' Non-Compete Agreement Requirements.
Ogletree Deakins - August 27, 2007
On June 21, Governor Phil Bredesen signed House Bill 240/Senate Bill 1688, which was the General Assembly’s response to a 2005 case in which the Tennessee Supreme Court declined to enforce a non-compete provision in an employment contract between a physician and a clinic. In Murfreesboro Medical Clinic, P.A. v. Udom, the state’s highest court held that, except for restrictions specifically provided for by Tennessee’s corporate practice of medicine statute, “covenants not to compete are unenforceable against physicians.”
