The use of forum-selection clauses in non-compete agreements received a possible boost from a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Atlantic Marine Constr. Co. v. U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, 187 L. Ed. 2d 487 (2013).  Cliff Atlas and Ravindra Shaw have writtten an article on the Jackson Lewis website explaining the decision.
