Non-compete clauses are a crucial factor for managers and executives: they can accelerate careers or significantly slow them down. In this episode of the “Vorstandsgeflüster” podcast, Dr. Daniel Detambel (Vogel & Detambel GbR, Wiesbaden) and Attorney-at-law Michael Weber (RellermeyerPartner, Düsseldorf) examine the legal and strategic aspects of non-compete clauses and demonstrate how these can influence career paths.

The focus is on the following questions:

■ Why ambitious job changes repeatedly fail due to unfavorable or ambiguously negotiated contract clauses.
■ How statutory and post-contractual non-compete clauses should be properly classified.
■ What negotiating leeway executives actually have and how it can be utilized.

Those who know the rules gain room for negotiation. Those who ignore them risk unnecessary restrictions on their own career options. Attorney-at-law Michael Weber provides comprehensive support and advice on the legal and strategic implications in this area.
