Learn About Restrictive Covenants at the ASA Staffing Law Conference

The 2023 ASA Staffing Law Conference takes place May 18–19 at the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, DC. It’s the only event dedicated exclusively to the legal and regulatory issues facing staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions companies, and will feature the session “Hands Off, They’re Mine! Protecting Staffing Agency Employees and Goodwill.”

The lifeblood of every staffing agency is its recruiters, account managers, temporary workers, and executives—and they are hard to find. It’s natural to want to protect your investment in them through nonsolicitation and noncompete agreements and other measures, but increased criminal and civil antitrust scrutiny, new laws limiting restrictive covenants, and other developments have made those measures risky. To avoid lawsuits and maintain goodwill, staffing agencies need to know what to do. Learn more about recent legal developments and about how to keep your agency compliant with the law in this important session.
