Kotz Sangster Wysocki P.C., a leading business law firm based in Detroit, has announced that attorney Douglas Eyre has joined the firm in its Detroit office. Eyre is a seasoned attorney, bringing over 20 years of experience in construction law and commercial litigation to the firm.
Kotz Sangster attorneys have been recognized as 2024 Michigan Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.
On Tuesday, April 23, 2024, the FTC published a final rule banning new non-compete clauses in employment contracts with all workers after its effective date. The rule goes into effect 120 days following its publication in the Federal Register. Existing non-compete agreements, except for those covering senior executives, are unenforceable after the effective date.
Kotz Sangster attorneys, along with partners from Plante Moran, presented on the topic of “Attracting, Developing and Retaining Talent” during the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association’s 2016 Annual Conference at the Soaring Eagle Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Moderated by Ed Boucher, speakers included John Below and Sean McNally. The presentation included information and data regarding company culture, recruiting and developing employees, non-compete agreements, and labor shortage challenges in a difficult labor market, as well as their impact on the heavy construction industry.
Also attending this year’s MITA conference was attorney Jeff Sangster. Along with Sean McNally and Ed Boucher, and joined by colleagues at Guy Hurley Insurance & Surety Services, he co-hosted an evening reception for clients and friends of both firms.
