A senior executive for Estee Lauder, based in New York, had worldwide responsibility for one of its brands and North American responsibility for another.

The agreement barred him from working for a competitor anywhere in the world for a twelve-month period after leaving employment.

Estee Lauder maintained that the agreement was enforceable and that New York law applied. Which state’s law is the relevant law in this case? Should the appropriate court enforce this agreement?
