A non-compete agreement is a legal contract that may restrict an employee from working for a competitor or starting a similar business after they stop working for their employer. To be enforceable, non-compete agreements must be reasonable, and they should not impose harsh restrictions that would prevent a person from finding employment in their chosen field. If you are asked to sign a non-compete agreement or believe that your current non-compete agreement is overly restrictive, our employment attorneys can help you understand what steps you can take to protect your rights.
