New York Restrictive Covenant Attorney
In regard to an employment contract, a restrictive covenant essentially lays out non-compete provisions for an employee once employment has been terminated. When in effect, many legal issues can arise both on part of the employee and employer.
Arthur R. Lehman, LLC represents both employers and employees in non-compete agreement cases. Contact our New York City law office online or call 212.697.2715.
Restrictive Covenants: Employers
Employers use restrictive covenants to protect their businesses in the event of an employee competing with the business. They are often utilized when an employee has specialized knowledge about a product, service, or other facet of a business. A restrictive covenant can protect a business by:
- Protecting trade secrets
- Protecting intellectual property
- Protecting client contact information
Restrictive Covenants: Employees
Although a restrictive covenant is intended to protect a business, it often prevents a former employee from realizing his or her full potential after employment is terminated. This can occur when the restrictive covenant limits a geographical area in which an employee can work, or is in effect for an unfairly long period of time.
Any individual has the right to learn a living. If a restrictive covenant is preventing you from advancing your career, contact our law firm.
