Helping You Protect Your Trade Secrets With Noncompete Agreements

More About Noncompete Agreements

In a noncompete agreement, an employee agrees not to take a job with one of your competitors for a fixed period of time after leaving your company. The purpose is to keep your trade secrets from falling into the wrong hands and damaging your ability to do business. To be valid and legally enforceable in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, a noncompete agreement must be carefully prepared to respect the employee’s right to work, provide some benefit to the worker and contain a good business reason to exist.

The contract must also be reasonable. It cannot unreasonably stop the employee from finding work due to a burdensome time period, geographic range or otherwise be overly broad. Otherwise, you may struggle to enforce the noncompete should an ex-employee ever violate it.

Attorney Hamilton will draft a noncompete agreement that suits your business and helps you develop a company policy for the use of the agreements. Preserving your trade secrets and sensitive information will be her top priority. She will also represent you in legal conflicts arising from a noncompete agreement breach.
