United States Eighth Circuit

In an action seeking to enforce restrictive covenants against former employees of an accounting firm, summary judgment for plaintiff is affirmed where: 1) the restrictive covenants were not unenforceable for lack of consideration; 2) the Missouri Supreme Court would hold that a stockholder's agreement between a professional corporation and a shareholder falls within the class of contracts wherein restrictive covenants are appropriate; and 3) the covenant at issue was reasonable.
