Noncompetition
Understanding “Non-Competes” in Today’s Market

Our deep and varied experience with noncompetition agreements and their enforcement allows us to provide high-level counsel to our clients in this area of frequent concern.

In today’s environment of increased competition for talent, the need to protect proprietary information and customer good will, and uncertainty around the enforceability of employee noncompetition covenants, it is critically important that employers understand the legal landscape that affects employee mobility. We have extensive experience representing employers in trade secret and noncompetition litigation in both federal and state courts, and advising clients with respect to the enforceability of noncompetition covenants across all jurisdictions.

We have obtained numerous injunctions enforcing noncompetition, non-solicitation and nondisclosure restrictions against our clients’ former employees. We also have successfully defended business clients and individual employees in litigation seeking to enforce restrictive covenants that were unreasonable or unnecessary to protect former employers’ predictable business interests.
