November 2013 Monthly Roundup
Here at Suits by Suits, we are thankful that the news about executive-employer disputes keeps flowing like gravy. This past month, we focused a lot of attention on non-compete agreements, many of which met the same fate as an unpardoned turkey. On a day as cold as chilled cranberry sauce, we sent a live correspondent to cover the oral argument in Lawson v. FMR LLC, in which the Supreme Court will decide whether employees of privately-held contractors of public companies have viable Sarbanes-Oxley claims. Finally, as per our holiday tradition, we recapped the history of Thanksgiving, in a post as entertaining as the most memorable Cowboys loss.
