Understanding the DOJ’s Guidance on No-Poach Agreements
Webinar, Hosted By McDermott Will & Emery
Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 3:30 AM
The US Department of Justice Antitrust Division (DOJ) dramatically raised the stakes for employers with its 2016 guidance, stating that it will criminally prosecute “naked agreements,” or understandings by employers not to recruit or hire each other’s employees. The DOJ says that it is shocked by the number of no-poach agreements that are still occurring. The DOJ is also targeting agreements among employers to fix wages and benefits.
