Eversheds Sutherland’s Bonnie Burke and Emma Quinn are pleased to continue their podcast series, Conversations across the pond, comparing and contrasting US and Irish employment law.

In the latest episode, Bonnie and Emma discuss all things related to contractual protections – including intellectual property considerations, confidentiality clauses, and restrictive covenants like non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. Their discussion highlights how these issues are handled across jurisdictions, including variations in enforceability and legal challenges. They also review the latest news on noncompete clauses in the US, including the Federal Trade Commission's recent attempt to ban them. The episode concludes with a discussion of non-disparagement clauses and their varying treatment in both countries.
