As part of the on-boarding process, employers typically give their employees important documents to sign.  Some of these documents can greatly affect your future employment prospects.  I'm here to advise and defend you. 

​

Non-Compete/Non-Solicit.  Employers use non-compete and non-solicit agreements to help them maintain competitive advantages in their respective markets.  Typical non-compete agreements prohibit employees from going to work for a competitor and soliciting clients.   When a valued employee leaves for a new job, employers frequently threaten litigation or actually sue to enforce the agreement.  These agreements are subject to limitations, and, when improperly drafted, are unenforceable.

​

Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure. Certain company information, like trade secrets and proprietary information, are protected from disclosure by the law.  Employees often sign documents that prohibit them from disclosing this information.  Employers can use these agreements to limit an employee's ability to maintain new employment.

​

Employment Contracts.  Some employees sign employment contracts.  These contracts can establish the duration of employment, bonuses, job duties, and grounds for termination.

If your former employer has threatened to sue you or has sued you, I can help.
