If you’re an entrepreneur, emerging company or start-up, odds are a large part of your company’s value depends on protecting its relationships with customers, employees and business partners. If you’re an employee, your professional growth likely depends on your ability to build your network of contacts as you move from one job to the next. Either way, you’ll benefit from understanding the basic concepts of California law relating to non-competition agreements, which imposes strict rules on what companies can do to restrict their employees from taking the information and relationships they develop or obtain during their employment.
