Non-compete Agreements

Philadelphia Non-Compete Agreement Attorneys

Employment contracts may include a restrictive covenant that prevents an employee from working for a competitor after they leave their current position. These are called "non-compete agreements" and they can apply not only to executives but also to middle managers, sales representatives, and technical employees. Many people don't even know they have a non-compete agreement in their employment contract until after they leave their current position to take another job. The news comes in the form of a threatening letter from their prior employer.

Overly restrictive non-compete agreements are a serious and growing problem, and one that needs to be dealt with immediately. Your former employer can seek an immediate injunction preventing you from working for the competitor. A non-compete agreement can hinder your career and prevent you from working in the field where your talents and experience are most valuable.
