Restrictive Covenant Violations

As a business owner, you have undoubtedly worked hard to start and grow your successful business. Protection of your customer relationships and goodwill, as well as protection of confidential and proprietary business information are essential to safeguarding that continued success. Ensuring your employees, particularly those with direct access to customers and confidential business information, sign agreements restricting their right to use that information to your detriment is of utmost importance. 

Mansell Law’s employment lawyers have years of experience drafting, negotiating, and interpreting restrictive covenant agreements, including non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions.  Our team will help you determine when these agreements are necessary to implement. We will also assist you with implementing enforceable agreements that will protect your legitimate business interests.  Introducing these agreements at the beginning of the employment relationship is the best way to protect your business and avoid costly disputes when an employee leaves.

If a dispute arises, we move into a litigation position quickly to protect your business. These disputes typically move much faster than traditional employment litigation, and our team will be ready to jump into action.  Mansell Law’s attorneys have extensive experience with temporary restraining order hearings, preliminary injunctions, and all other facets of restrictive covenant litigation in both state and federal courts.  Consulting with an employment attorney early on is crucial to the success of the litigation. Delaying acting on restrictive covenant violations can impact the strength of your case.
