HOW TO BEAT YOUR VIRGINIA NON COMPETE for your IPAD / IPHONE ETC

Had a great weekend in Tennessee with new friends.

Met a hospital administrator from Ohio who told me his facility did not have non-compete agreements for physician employees because they thought taking care of their employees would be a better way to keep them, than scare tactics contained in contracts.

I think he is right and applauded his position.

I also met a woman who lives in Northern Virginia, who has a pretty big deal high paying job. She (upon learning what kind of law I practiced) said - "Well, they are not enforceable in Virginia, right? Virginia is a right to work state."

Ugh. I gasped.

Another smart person who has NO IDEA what right to work means but wrongly assumes it means non compete agreements are not valid.

While it is not really my job to be the evangelical about non-compete agreements (why I don't like them, what the law really is, etc..) Dan, and our new attorney Rob and I agree that education in this subject area of Virginia law is remains important.

No tent revival.
No commercial on during Judge Judy.

We preach the good news in an old fashion medium called the book. And our book, written to Virginians about the laws regarding non-competition agreements in Virginia, can be obtained either by downloading on amazon.com or buying the paper copy direct from our office.

$9 print - or $9 downloaded to your Iphone / Kindle / Ipad, etc.

How? Where? You must visit our amazon.com webpage where you can get our book HOW TO BEAT YOUR VIRGINIA NON-COMPETE, sent directly to your hand-held device.

This means you can read it tonight on your way home on the Metro. Or read it between playoff football games, or while your wife watches Downton Abbey and you pretend to care.

Anyway. To read the real news about Virginia law in this area - get your own copy of HOW TO BEAT YOUR VIRGINIA NON-COMPETE.

And I hope in years to come, that our collective preaching on the subject will be so effective that folks across the Commonwealth will know what their rights are, and I then I won't accidentally snort red wine out of my nose in shock at our continued ignorance on the subject.
