Noncompete Agreements and Other Restrictive Covenants

In most cases, noncompete agreements and other restrictive covenants come in the form of boilerplate contractual language intended to protect employers against their employees leaving their companies to capitalize on their skills, training, knowledge and development contacts. Although this makes sense from a company point of view, it begs the question: Who is protecting you, the employee?

Whether you are facing a noncompete clause in a contract for a new job or looking to throw off a restrictive covenant in order to further your own career goals, it is important to work with an experienced lawyer who can protect your interests throughout the process.

We provide a range of employment law services in this regard, including:

• Contracts: Although the language might be boilerplate in an employment contract, we can often negotiate with employers to make these terms more favorable for your future. We offer negotiation, drafting, and review of contractual noncompete language in employment contracts.
• Modification: Even if you have signed a contract with a noncompete clause and have been working for the company for years, there is a chance that we can negotiate a modification of the contract’s terms with your employer.
• Litigation: If you feel your contract is unfair and unnecessarily restrictive to your future, we can litigate to get you out of the contract if necessary.

If you are concerned about a noncompete clause, we might be able to help you. Do not wait to talk with an attorney. We offer free initial consultations, so there is no risk in talking with us.
