Resolving Disputes Over Non-Compete Agreements
Employment law is constantly changing in regard to the enforceability of non-compete agreements. It is critical to know the length and scope of the agreement in question. These factors determine whether a certain company can actually prevent an employee from accepting a job elsewhere.
Courts are very strict in these matters. If a non-compete covenant does not conform to the legal standard, the judge will simply throw it out. At Cole Sadkin, LLC, we can carefully analyze your agreement and advise you of your rights and options.
