SUMMARY:Protecting What You’ve Built: Non-Competes & Restrictive Covenant
 s in 2026
DESCRIPTION:A key value driver for any business is its workforce. Businesse
 s invest significant time and money developing and training their people an
 d their executives. Without proper protections in place\, that investment c
 an walk right out the door if key personnel decide to strike out on their o
 wn — or join a competitor.\nAt the same time\, many states have enacted l
 aws that protect employees and limit what restrictive agreements can requir
 e of them. Virginia is no exception: 2026 brought some of the changes to th
 e Commonwealth’s non-compete law in years.\nJoin employment attorney Deb 
 Collins of Yeng Collins Law\, PLLC for an interactive presentation on the e
 ver-evolving law around non-competes and other restrictive covenants. Deb w
 ill walk through how Virginia’s 2026 legislative changes affect employers
  seeking to enter into or enforce non-competes\, how employers can protect 
 themselves when an employee is already subject to pre-existing restrictions
 \, and how employers can otherwise safeguard their business interests going
  forward.\nSpeaker Bio:  Deb Collins represents employers across the entir
 e spectrum of employment issues\, including providing day-to-day advice\, n
 egotiating contract issues\, drafting policies and handbooks\, conducting i
 nternal investigations\, and representing clients in grievances\, mediation
 s\, arbitrations\, administrative proceedings\, and litigation. A former cr
 iminal prosecutor and partner in a small employment law firm\, Deb founded
