Employment agreements are where business law and employment law collide. For attorneys serving as outside or in-house general counsel, drafting these agreements can feel high-risk, particularly given the rapidly evolving legal landscape around restrictive covenants, compensation, and separation terms.

In this session, experienced employment attorneys Emily Tichenor and Meredith VanderWilt walk business lawyers through what should and should not appear in modern employment agreements. The program focuses on the provisions that matter most in practice, including compensation structures, intellectual property protection, restrictive covenants, executive and separation terms, and the employment law constraints that shape them. Designed for non-specialists, this program helps business attorneys approach employment agreements with greater clarity, confidence, and judgment.
