This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses Meras Engineering, Inc. v. CH20, Inc., a recent decision by the US District Court for the Northern District of California upholding a Washington forum selection clause in non-compete agreements. Two former employees, both California residents, and their new employer, a California corporation, sought a declaration that non-compete agreements with the former employer were unenforceable under California law. The court dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that the Washington forum selection clause in the non-compete agreements was enforceable even though Washington does not categorically prohibit non-compete provisions as California does.
