Erika Birg Quoted in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Lawmakers Scramble Over Mistake Involving Non-Compete Law"

Atlanta partner, Erika Birg, was quoted in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution discussing a discrepancy in the non-compete agreements legislation passed in Georgia on November 2, 2010 that leaves the new rules vulnerable to legal challenges and has supporters planning a fix when lawmakers return to session in January. According to the article, some law experts are warning clients not to enter into agreements under the new rules until the situation is resolved. Erika considers the issue "a hiccup" that should be fixed easily. But even if a legal challenge were mounted, the court would look at the intent of legislature, which was that the new law take effect November 3.
