TRANSCRIPT
[00:00:00] Patrick O’Rourke: One of the frequent questions that I get when I’m lecturing or from clients is, Hey, Pat, what’s a really easy way to look at a contract and see what’s adverse to my interests? When you see non-disparagement and that is irreparable harm and it’s kind of vague and one-sided, like they can talk all the smack they want about you, but you can’t say anything back to them.
