Steve Schneider Discusses Nosal Implications With SHRM
December 29, 2011
Steve Schneider was quoted in a December 26, 2011 posting by the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) regarding the recent oral argument before the 9th Circuit challenging the Court's reversal of USA v. Nosal which concerned employees accessing company computers for the purpose of obtaining information used in helping them start a competing business. Should the appellate decision be upheld, Schneider opined that in CA, where employee noncompete agreements are prohibited outside the sale of the employee's former business, employers may gain new leverage in such situations.
