Employment Contract & Restrictive Covenant Attorneys

Whether you are an individual seeking a new job in a highly competitive field, or an employer looking to protect its sensitive trade secrets, it is important to understand the impact of contractual restrictive covenants that govern an employee’s post-employment obligations. These restrictive covenants include:

• Non-competition agreements (often known as non-competes),
• Non-solicitation agreements,
• Non-disclosure agreements, and
• Confidentiality agreements.

The enforceability of these agreements varies by jurisdiction, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations are rapidly changing at the state and federal level.  As such, it is critical for employers and employees to review restrictive covenants with a full understanding of the current state of the law. 

Our seasoned business attorneys have decades of experience working closely with employers and employees to analyze and understand the implications and potential risks associated with contracts that include these types of restrictive covenants.  We regularly advise our clients on these issues at the outset of the negotiation of the agreements, when disputes arise, and when litigation is necessary to protect our clients’ interests. 

If you have questions about an employment contract, shareholder agreement, membership agreement, or partnership agreement that includes a non-compete, or any other type of restrictive covenant, please give us a call for a free consultation at 973-232-0606, or complete the form below and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
