There are few areas of the law in greater flux than the protection of confidential information and trade secrets. Federal and state laws are changing every year and the courts keep redrawing the boundaries.

Write an employment contract forbidding employees to work anywhere else for five years and you might discover it's not worth the paper it's written on. I can show you what you can do and what you shouldn't do.
