The landscape is rapidly changing for the enforceability of such covenants in
- employment contracts,
- agreements for the sale of medical practices,
- medical practice partnership dissolution agreements and

This concise guide explores the legal issues related to physician covenants not to compete. It is an essential and comprehensive tool for advising and counseling clients and litigating related claims.
