of the U.S.S.R.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For some insight into non-compete law in Georgia (the country), I direct you to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.messenger.com.ge\/issues\/3853_march_29_2017\/3853_tbc.html\">article<\/a>. \u00a0The article describes a case where the Court enjoined a former bank manager from working for a competitive organization for six months. \u00a0The case appears to have been a seminal decision on non-compete law there.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the country of Georgia appears to be more stringent on non-competes than the state of Georgia. \u00a0According to the article, the country of Georgia only allows non-competes with a duration of six months whereas under the Restrictive Covenant Act in the State of Georgia, non-competes in employee agreements that run for less than two years are presumed reasonable. <\/p>\n<p>We will head back across the ocean to the good ol&#8217;
