Kent Brockelman and Jill Chasson Address Possible Federal Action on Noncompetes in Phoenix Business Journal

Naomi Jorgensen

In response to President Joe Biden’s executive order pushing to regulate noncompete agreements, Phoenix Business Journal published a guest column by Kent Brockelman and Jill Chasson outlining steps businesses should take to protect themselves.

Kent has years of experience in a wide variety of employment matters and serves as principal...
