On August 10, 2018, Governor Baker signed the non-compete bill
recently passed by the Massachusetts Legislature. (A full summary
of the bill can be found
here.) As a result, the new law will take effect on October 1,
2018 and will apply to agreements signed on and after that date. In
preparation, Massachusetts employers should review their practices
in requiring that employees and independent contractors sign
post-employment non-compete restrictions, and they should ensure
that their form agreements comply with the new law.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
