Josh Goodbaum Participates in Non-Compete Roundtable with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy

Last week, Garrison Law partner Josh Goodbaum was an invited participant at a roundtable discussion with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy and several physicians and policymakers about how non-competition agreements not only affect employees in the medical field, but also reduce patient healthcare access and affordability.

According to policymakers, two major health systems – Hartford HealthCare and Yale New Haven Health – own a majority of Connecticut’s hospitals and physician practices, making it difficult for healthcare professionals bound by non-compete agreements to seek new positions with other providers.

Connecticut law regulates non-competes for physicians and some other healthcare workers, but the physicians in attendance at the roundtable said that the restrictions are not tight enough.

Senator Murphy has introduced bipartisan legislation, the Workforce Mobility Act, that would almost completely ban non-compete clauses in employment contracts.

Learn more about the roundtable discussion here. Other coverage can also be found on Senator Murphy’s website and in The Chronicle.

Earlier this year, Goodbaum discussed non-competes with The Connecticut Mirror.

    Client Experiences

    You will never meet a more knowledgeable and compassionate professional than Steve Fitzgerald. My employment situation was very complex, and Attorney Fitzgerald kept me focused while remaining extremely adept and “thinking on his feet.” Should the need present itself again, I would never seek anyone else’s counsel regarding employment issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. — J.R., New Haven, CT

    Nina Pirrotti provided outstanding legal advice and was trustworthy, dependable, and responsive. From the start, I was confident that her knowledge and experience would obtain favorable results. On a more personal note, I enjoyed working with her and her staff and felt I was included in every part of the process. The dedication, concern, and interest in me as a client was greatly appreciated, and Nina has earned my highest recommendation. — J.H., Monroe, CT

    Josh Goodbaum truly outperformed my expectations. He was calm and steadfast throughout the entire process. He is a great communicator. Together, we were able to lay out a plan that in the end, not only got myself the outcome I was hoping for, but undoubtedly saved me valuable time and money as well. I cannot thank Josh and his firm enough for coming through for me in this time of uncertainty and stress.  — D.T.

    When I go to a lawyer for advice, I am usually anxious, particularly the first meeting. Amanda DeMatteis was clear in describing my options and immediately set me at ease. Realistic assessment is important, and Amanda was clear as to how to set up the case and the direction she felt we should go. I had total confidence in her abilities and knew I was being well represented against a large corporation. More importantly, we were successful! — N.M., Haddam, CT
