Legal Assistance with Non-Compete Clauses and Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants are agreements that restrict your ability to compete with your former employer after you leave. You may be required to sign a non-compete agreement in order work for a company. The stated goal of these covenants is to protect trade secrets and other confidential material. However, employers will often use them as an intimidation tactic to prevent employees from leaving the company.

Examples of Restrictive Covenants
- Non-compete clauses: One of the most common restrictive covenants, often broad in nature. Generally, these clauses will prevent you from working for a competing company or starting your own company that directly competes.
- Non-recruitment / non-solicitation clauses: Restricts your ability to hire employees of your ex-employer for a length of time after employment is terminated.
- Confidentiality provisions: Perhaps the most common form of restrictive covenants. These are often signed by employees outside of a contractual agreement. These restrict your ability to use any trade secrets or confidential information after you leave the company.
In most cases, other restrictive covenants are all seen as support for confidentiality provisions. These provisions restrict specific activities that could lead to a breach of said provisions.
