LEADING LAW FIRMS IN THE “NEW NORMAL”: RECOVERING FROM CRISES THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Beginning in 2008, the first of three major crises hit the nation and had global implications and effects, including significant ones for the legal profession. Those crises were the financial crisis of 2008, followed by the social justice movements reflecting outrage at several highly-publicized police killings of Black men and women, and, most recently, the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. The crises created significant challenges for lawyers and legal institutions but they also created opportunities for enhanced access to justice, more efficient law organization practices, and new workplace requirements. The Article considers several difficult questions about where the legal profession is at following these events and whether it has learned to anticipate inevitable, future crises. To do so will require effective, sustained and thoughtful leadership throughout the legal profession including the judiciary, law firms and law schools. The Article envisions a “new normal” where effective leadership in managing crises and leading clients and law organizations through those challenges is practiced across the profession

No-Poach Agreements: An Overview of US, EU, and National Case Law

The United States, European Union, and many other international jurisdictions have antitrust and competition laws that seek to prevent anticompetitive conduct concerning labor and employment relationships. However, for many years these prohibitions on restraints of trade in labor markets and employment relationships were not routinely and rigorously enforced by those jurisdictions. The lack of governmental attention to these labor market practices has changed in important ways in recent years. Across many jurisdictions, we are now seeing more intense attention to conduct that suppresses wages of workers and their freedom of job mobility to other comparable positions. From an international perspective, particular attention is being paid to so-called “no-poach agreements”. These agreements have been the focus of much more intense government scrutiny in the last decade, including in prior issues of this journal. [1] This annual review and evaluation of case law and government regulatory law continues that focus by reviewing several developments concerning no-poach agreements in the past year and a half
