GrayRobinson is pleased to share Shareholders Sarah Reiner and Dena Sokolow presented "Florida’s CHOICE Act: Redefining the Rules on Noncompetes” as part of the firm’s Labor and Employment quarterly webinar series, offering practical guidance to help employers manage complex compliance obligations. CLE credits provided.
The virtual presentation gave an in-depth look at Florida’s newly enacted Contracts Honoring Opportunity, Investment, Confidentiality, and Economic Growth (CHOICE) Act. Sarah and Dena discussed how the Choice Act reshapes the state’s restrictive covenant landscape, offering pro-employer reforms and expanding the tools available for enforcing noncompetes, garden leave agreements, and other restraints of trade.
Sarah defends private and public employers in workplace litigation at the agency, state, and federal levels. She supports clients navigating employment law litigation involving contract and non-compete disputes, sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, and wage and hour claims, as well as actions arising under various other employment laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and Family Medical Leave Act.
Dena’s practice includes defending claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination, as well as wage and hour violations, FMLA claims, and employee misclassification. She has developed a national reputation for her work in wage and hour law, particularly involving Department of Labor audits, FLSA collective actions, and internal classification audits addressing independent contractor and exemption issues.
