On April 20, 2018, Jackson Lewis published an article entitled, “Brazilian Labor Courts Continue to Emphasize Importance of Non-Compete Clause Limitations,” by John Sander and Maya Atrakchi in the New York City office.  John currently serves as Chairman of L&E Global, a global alliance of premier employer’s counsel firms.  Our colleague Gabriela Lima Arantes at the Brazil law firm Tozzini Freire, a member of L&E Global, co-authored this article.  Through L&E Global, Jackson Lewis can assist with international employment law issues, including in the area of non-compete, trade secrets and unfair competition law.
