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...
