A key component of our business law practice is working with our clients to draft and enforce non-competition and confidentiality agreements. In addition, we stay abreast of ever changing laws in these areas and have successfully helped our clients escape from the terms of an unenforceable non-competition or confidentiality agreement they have entered into.

Non-competition agreements, common in employment relationships and business sales, are designed to protect employers and purchasers and offer employees and purchasers certain incentives for entering into them. In the employment arena, non-solicitation agreements, either within or separate from a non-competition agreement, can be incorporated to prevent departing employees from taking an employer’s customers with them.

Confidentiality agreements and provisions are designed to keep the terms of a contract or agreement confidential. Typically, these agreements include specific language with remedies available in the event of default.

Our business law practice works closely with our clients to prepare and modify confidentiality and non-competition agreements. Contact our office today to learn of the ways in which these agreements may benefit you.
