         <title>Protect your bottom line by understanding non-compete agreements</title>
         <link>http://ebn.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=1307&amp;pid=14079</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Associate Editor Lydell C. Bridgeford talks with attorney Fred Sommer of Shulman Rogers about non-compete and confidentiality agreements. Sommer explains that well-drafted agreements can protect the company’s interests and bottom line, but unclear and overboard agreements are bound to result in expensive litigation. 

“Litigation over non-compete and confidentiality agreements is a lose-lose proposition for both parties. Even the winner doesn’t really win, but just loses less,” says Sommer, who is chairman of the employment and labor practice group at his firm.
