Area of Practice: Non Compete Agreement
Very often, employers will require employees to sign a non-compete agreement in order to protect their customer lists, trade secrets, intellectual property, employees from solicitation and to prevent an employee from becoming a competitor. The non-compete agreement may prevent the employee from using or disclosing any customer lists, trade secrets, intellectual property, soliciting employees or becoming a competitor.
A Non-compete agreement is different than a standard contract entered into between two parties and is treated differently by the Courts in New Jersey. Unlike other employment contracts, a non-compete agreement prohibits free trade and commerce. In order for a non-compete agreement to be valid in New Jersey, the non-compete agreement must be limited to meet the needs of the employer balanced against the needs of the individual bound by the non-compete agreement.
Our non-compete attorneys will review your non-compete agreement and advise you thoroughly on New Jersey non-compete law while protecting your rights.
