Non-Competition Agreements and Covenants Not to Compete
Business Law and Commercial Litigation Legal Help in New York City
Non-compete agreements are allowed by law with the goal of protecting companies. Employees' rights must also be protected, including employees' rights to earn a living. When an employee contests or breaks the terms of a non-competition agreement, how do you know if your business will likely prevail in a lawsuit? And if your employer includes terms in its covenants not to compete that seem overly broad in duration or scope, who can determine what you can and cannot do?
At the Manhattan law firm of Epstein & Weil, we have provided business law and litigation legal services to employers and employees for approximately 30 years. In addition to providing decades of effective legal counsel, firm partner and attorney Judith Weil:
- Is a member of the American Bar Association's Commercial Litigation Section
- Provides counseling to privately held corporations and partnerships, including legal counsel with the goal of avoiding litigation
- Has litigated hundreds of business law cases
We advise clients who need restrictive covenants and handle "covenant-not-to-compete" disputes ranging from allegedly stolen client lists to the theft and use of trade secrets, proprietary technology and the "stealing" of employees.
We can help you or your firm with all legal matters relating to breaches of non-competition agreements, including:
- Contracts to protect your company's confidential and proprietary assets
- Injunctions preventing executives from employment with competitors
- Temporary restraining orders enforcing non-compete agreements
- Trials to determine guilt and damages
