State law can determine force of 'noncompete' clause
Article Abstract:
Issues related to "noncompete" clauses and "restrictive settlements" are far from settled, although there have been many court decisions that can provide relevant precedents. Physicians in many states may be challenged in this area as the doctrines covering these issues are evolving in many states. The laws of the various states differ on how the courts may interpret a contract and construe them differently on their strictness and content.
