noncompetition clause in California

2025(Laabs v. City of Victorville, supra, 163 Cal.App.4th at p. 1258 .) C.

2023Because the noncompetition clause was tied directly to the sale of the business, we conclude the noncompetition agreement falls within the section 16601 exception.6 A noncompetition clause connected to the sale of goodwill of business is meant to “prevent the seller from unfairly depriving the buyer of the full value of its acquisition, including its goodwill.” (Strategix, supra, 142 Cal.App.4th at p. 1073 .) “ ‘The customers of a business are an essential part of its goodwill.

2023(Advanced Bionics, supra, 29 Cal.4th at pp. 700–701.) After the employee resigned and accepted employment with a California company, the California employer filed a complaint for declaratory relief in a California court, alleging the noncompetition clause was void because it violated California law and public policy.

2014Vinci clearly and correctly held that, when a corporate entity is injured by a third party, the sole shareholder of the corporate entity does not have standing to bring an action for redress of that injury because "[t]he remedy lies with the corporation, not the shareholder, even if the injured shareholder is the sole shareholder." (Vinci v. Waste Management, Inc., supra, 36 Cal.App.4th at p. 1815 .) Plaintiffs do not dispute that, if IGC was the contracting party in whose favor the noncompetition clause operated and who was injured by any alleged breaches of contract by Mark, Vinci would cont

2014(Quay, supra, 18 Cal.App.4th at p. 968 .) Because the future effects of a noncompetition clause imposed in connection with the sale or assignment of a community asset are part of the equation for determining the value of the community asset upon dissolution, it does not constitute a division of future earning capacity.

2009Because of our conclusions, it is unnecessary to address these separate alleged deficiencies. 10 The injunction here barred Advisers from “[d]irectly or indirectly soliciting any [current] TRG [customers] ... to transfer any securities account or relationship from TRG to [Advisers] or any broker-dealer or registered investment advisor other than TRG.” The contractual clause Edwards concluded was unenforceable was a noncompetition clause providing the employee was barred from “ ‘performing] professional services of the type you provided for any [customer for] which you worked,’ ” and from “ ‘so

2008(N.D.Cal. 1994) 856 F.Supp. 554 (Robinson), where a federal district court judge (not an appellate court) concluded a former employee would suffer more harm than his employer if the court denied the former employee’s request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the employer from enforcing a noncompetition clause in the employment contract.

2005(Moncharsh v. Heily & Blase, supra, 3 Cal.4th at p. 11 .) “ ‘[Arbitrators do not exceed their powers merely [by] assigning] an erroneous reason for their decision.’ [Citations.]” (Id. at p. 28.) Nor can an award be vacated because the arbitrator “reached an erroneous decision.” (Ibid.) In this case, the trial court did exactly what the Supreme Court in Moncharsh said it could not do: review the merits of the arbitrator’s findings concerning the applicable law and the interpretation and enforceability of the contract’s noncompetition clause.

2001Thus, the covenant not to compete was unenforceable and void. (161 Cal.App.3d at pp. 288, 291-292.) *906 Vacco Industries, Inc. v. Van Den Berg, supra, 5 Cal.App.4th 34 , another case from this division, demonstrates when a noncompetition clause is enforceable.

1998Indeed, the mere fact that one of the parties to the contract is incorporated in the chosen state is sufficient to support a finding of “substantial relationship,” and the mere fact that one of the parties resides in the chosen state provides a “reasonable basis” for the parties’ choice of law. ( Nedlloyd, supra, 3 Cal.4th at pp. 467-468.) The parties also agree that California and Maryland are “potentially concerned” states with diametrically opposed laws regarding the enforceability of Hunter’s noncompetition clause.

Superior Court, supra, 180 Cal.App.3d at p. 905 .) 14 As we have noted, with certain limited exceptions, California law renders void such provisions (§ 16600), while *900 Maryland law permits them so long as they are reasonable in scope and duration (Holloway v.
