Imagine the following scenario… Twenty years ago, your Company was the employer at issue in a key Supreme Court of Virginia non-compete agreement case. Your Company prevailed, with the Supreme Court holding that the Company’s standard non-compete agreement is enforceable under Virginia law. Relying on that victory, your Company continues using identical non-compete language and believes that it is on firm footing in doing so; after all, the Supreme Court of Virginia – the final arbiter of the meaning of Virginia law – has ruled that your non-compete is enforceable.
