A Company Cannot Prevent an Employee From Earning a Livelihood
Non-compete agreements are written to protect the company and its trade-secrets in the event that an employee leaves for a similar position at a competing business. While companies should protect their investment, some employers write non-compete agreements that are too broad and restrictive to be enforceable. Some examples of over-restrictive terms include:
- Preventing former employees from working within a broad region of the business
- Preventing former employees from taking a similar job for a lengthy period of time (for example two or three years) after leaving the company
It is important that you have a lawyer review an employment contract to search for overly-restrictive terms before you sign. Doing so may protect your future. If you are facing a lawsuit after joining another company, our firm will aggressively represent your interests in negotiations or if necessary, in trial.
