Ms. Myer Gives TV Interview on New Restrictive Covenant Law

On January 1, 2011, Mari Myer appeared on  11 Alive News to discuss the recent changes in the Georgia law governing restrictive covenants.  During the interview, which aired twice, Ms. Myer expressed concern that the recent changes in the law, while well-intended, may create numerous problems for Georgia businesses.  The changes are likely to spark extensive and expensive litigation at a time when the courts are already overwhelmed.  This litigation will create confusion and uncertainty.  And, the changes in the law may deter entrepreneurs from accepting employment with Georgia-based companies to avoid being bound by strict post-employment restrictions on their activities.
