Investigate That Business

A few issues concerning businesses have crossed our desks. While I have not had adequate time to approach the issues that have been presented, I have decided that businesses could create as much of an issue with the public as Government, Politicians and similar institutions. I shall delve into the issues that I have been confronted with, but in the meantime, there are places you can locate information concerning businesses and their activity.

Issueshas finally been able to answer some of the questions involving non-compete agreements. Be sure to read the non-compete section and follow the links for further information

I have been in contact with Charles Mueller, Editor of ANTITRUST LAW & ECONOMICS REVIEW regarding the issues noted in the center column of this page. Mr. Mueller has been extremely kind in his guidence towards finding answers to to the posed questions. I suggest to all who have such concerns to check out the ANTITRUST LAW & ECONOMICS REVIEW and then revert to the Sherman Act for more specific information.

I am continuing to research these issues and this page will be updated in regards to the issues ASAP
