Attracting, compensating and retaining talented employees is a critical part of a fund manager’s business. Managers routinely use non-compete agreements and other measures to ensure that departing employees do not harm the managers’ businesses. A program presented by EisnerAmper offered an overview of the law of non-compete agreements and insight into other common employment issues that private fund managers face, including portability of track records, status of employees, protection of intellectual property and cybersecurity. Moderated by EisnerAmper director Frank L. Napolitani, the program featured Cole-Frieman & Mallon partner John Araneo. This article highlights the key takeaways from the presentation.
