Restrictive Covenants In Employment Contracts And Other Mechanisms For Protection Of Corporate Confidential Information

234,53€ + 10% CARD

 The idea for this book came about following the International Bar Association''s annual conference that was held in Prague in September of 2005. One of the sessions at this conference co-chaired by Pascale Lagesse and Mariann Norrbom was entitled ''Restrictive covenants in employment contracts and other mechanisms for protection of corporate confidential information.'' International panelists consisted of members of the legal profession, corporate representatives and a court justice. Discussions focused on key issues and the concerns companies have when seeking to protect their confidential information, and insight was given into what employers can do in order to ensure that their employees do not take valuable company information with them upon leaving the company.Using a case study as a basis, particular emphasis was placed on non-solicitation and non-compete covenants, and the extent to which an employer can rely on such covenants when protecting his interests.The specific situation of a key employee who left her employer to join a competitor was addressed, and the types of action the employer could take in order to avoid the solicitation of his clients and staff and prevent his employees from competing against him were discussed.This book picks up where the session left off, and consists of no less than 13 contributions from individuals from 5 continents. Each country representative has been asked to respond to a series of pertinent questions on the subjects of restrictive covenants and protection of confidential information, in order to give a comparative overview of how these issues are treated in different jurisdictions. This comprehensive publication will be a valuable resource tool for legal practitioners, employers, HR professionals and anyone interested in the field of employment law.

Global Business Workforce Restructuring - Labour And Employment Law And Benefits. Issues Raised By Restructuring, Mergers, Sales, Acquisitions And Redundancies

204,05€ + 10% CARD

 During two decades of intensive economic globalisation, business firms in nearly every country have undergone mergers, acquisitions, sales, reductions in the workforce, plant closures, and other forms of restructuring. Many legal issues of critical importance to employers arise in the course of such transactions and activities. This book offers clear comparative legal analysis of these issues, derived from the labour and employment law of 12 major trading jurisdictions: Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, England and Wales, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and the United States. The emphasis throughout is on answers to practical questions, such as the following: Is a purchasing company required to hire some or all of the employees of a target business?Can the purchaser pick and choose which employees are transferred or hired?Is a purchaser required to assume a target company¿s collective bargaining agreement?What is the nature and timing of notices required of purchasers?Can an acquisition, closure, or reduction in force be delayed by a strike or other industrial action?Can a company dismiss any or all employees at a facility it wants to close?How questions like these are answered in each of the 12 countries is spelled out in detail by panels of outstanding practitioners from each of the jurisdictions. The chapters in this book were developed by the 22 authors from a set of more theoretical papers delivered at a full-day session presented by Committee P (the Employment and Industrial Relations Law Committee of the section on Business Law) at the October 2002 annual conference of the International Bar Association in Durban, South Africa.

by Wilfred Abraham

351,13€ + 10% CARD

 All of the worlds legal systems focus on the sanctity of contracts, and on damages as the remedy for breach of contract. Yet parties to international contracts often adhere to differing legal theories and fundamental notions that can lead to misunderstandings misunderstandings that can wreak havoc with large-scale construction and civil engineering projects. In this unique guide to the suite of contracts published by FIDIC (The International Federation of Consulting Engineers) the contract forms most widely used for international construction undertakings twenty-two outstanding authorities in construction law from a wide variety of countries describe relevant likely pitfalls (and special opportunities) for foreign lawyers in each of their jurisdictions. The countries covered are Brazil, Egypt, England, France, Germany, India, Japan, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and the United States. The books great usefulness, however, is not limited to these countries; as the editor points out in his introduction, legal systems are so widely shared among groups of countries that reasonable extrapolation is available here to virtually any construction site on earth. The treatment covers such topics as: allocation of risk; the FIDIC flow chart for settling disputes; post-completion responsibility of the parties; disputes relating to non-contractual claims; allegations of fraud or gross negligence; dealing with bribery and extortion; delay and disruption; proving entitlement to extension of time; right to deduct liquidated damages; changed conditions; rights of subcontractors and suppliers; and unforeseeability.

204,05€ + 10% CARD

 The term "e-health" has come into use to characterize the burgeoning electronic communications system by which medical professionals, institutions, and enterprises share information, data, and access to medicinal products.

by Norman Palmer

579,03€ + 10% CARD

 Over 20 years have passed since the General Conference of UNESCO called on the nations of the world to adopt more effective legal initiatives for promoting all forms of exchange of cultural objects, including loans and exhibitions. This unique new work examines how those nations have responded to the challenge and provides a detailed analysis of the legal and practical mechanics of art lending.Drawing on four years'' research and an unrivaled knowledge of the common law of personal property, the author explores the pitfalls which lurk within every art loan, charts the modern trend towards achieving uniformity, and assesses the place of the modern art loan as a medium of cultural exchange.Art Loans covers both domestic and international art lending and fully treats international touring exhibitions. The author''s inquiry extends along three main dimensions:<ul><li>• a theoretical survey of the legal doctrines which bear upon art loans in chosen jurisdictions</li><li>• a commentary on the commonly-used, standard forms of lending and borrowing agreements, with regard to the underlying doctrine</li><li>• an analysis of the attitudes of museum officials and others to the operation of law and practice in the field.</li></ul>Its thorough coverage in this under-examined area makes Art Loans an essential point of reference for museums, private collectors, companies involved in art lending either primarily or incidentally, and their counsel.

Remedies Under Security Interests

299,45€ + 10% CARD

 The vast expansion of international trade has greatly increased the incidence of cross-border ownership of assets, both tangible and intangible. It is not uncommon, for instance, for a business to own both physical plant and intellectual property in two or more jurisdictions. Under these circumstances, it is vital for business persons and their counsel to have some knowledge of a variety of relevant domestic legal regimes, particularly in regard to available remedies.This highly serviceable book provides the essential details of such knowledge for fourteen important commercial jurisdictions: Argentina, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, England and Wales (United Kingdom), and the United States of America. Each country survey is presented by an experienced business law practitioner in his or her particular jurisdiction. Each chapter''s coverage includes discussion of remedies under such security interests as the following:<ul><li>• real estate;</li><li>• fixtures;</li><li>• movables;</li><li>• patents;</li><li>• trademarks; and</li><li>• industrial models and designs.</li></ul>Each author also explains important procedural aspects of many typical phases of ownership, including registration, transfer, sale of an ongoing concern or stock in trade, taxation, trusteeship, and injunction orders. Remedies under private international law are also considered.For the rapidly growing group of businesses and private parties with assets in more than one country, this is a very handy volume, highly useful and not overburdened with unnecessary detail. It more than adequately supplies a vital need.
