Susan, the CEO of ABC Company, which was involved in the production and sale of hair care products, decided to hire new employees to develop new product lines for a planned expansion into the dog shampoo arena. She was concerned, however, that the employees specializing in canine products might leave at some point, taking company secrets with them for use in competition with ABC. She, therefore,
required that the employees sign contracts containing covenants not to compete. Susan also consulted her in-house counsel, Sam, regarding the effect of some new regulations involving the use of certain chemicals in shampoo and conditioner.
