Indiana Supreme Court - webcast, non-compete agreements

Last week, the Indiana Supreme Court had oral arguments in the case of Central Indiana Podiatry v. Kenneth Krueger. Follow that link to watch the webcast. The court's website summarizes this case:

Central Indiana Podiatry filed a complaint against Krueger, a former employee, alleging that Krueger had violated the parties’ employment contract, which included a non-compete provision. The trial court denied Central Indiana Podiatry’s request for a preliminary injunction, but the Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the non-compete clause was reasonable and enforceable and that the other elements for a preliminary injunction had been established. Central Indiana Podiatry, P.C. v. Krueger, 859 N.E.2d 686 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.

Update 4/16/08: The Indiana Supreme Court has since handed down its decision in this case. See my posts Central Indiana Podiatry v. Kenneth Krueger - The Indiana Supreme Court Speaks and Thoughts on Central Indiana Podiatry, Non-Competes, Garden Leave, and Physician Employment Contracts.

Do remember that this office is taking on non-compete work.
