Employers Want Protection

Employers fiercely protect their property, whether it is a client database, intellectual property, or customer good will. That protection takes the form of non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality and trade secret agreements. Whether hiring a television professional, advertising executive or doctor, corporations of all sizes want to ensure that they hold on to what they feel rightfully belongs to them.

Helping Clients Understand Non-Compete Agreements

At Outten & Golden LLP, we help high-level executives and professionals understand the substance behind the often complex language of an overly restrictive non-compete agreement. We also help executives to understand the ramifications of signing a non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement that will harm, not help, their career.

Aggresive Litigation for Employment Contract Disputes

Our employment law services do not stop at contract review and negotiation. Successfully defending our clients against injunctions or law suits when employers make false accusations about client poaching or theft of work product or try to enforce non compete or other restrictive covenants is something we excel at. When an employee leaves a company or professional firm they know they can count on our litigation skills. With our team in place, we can move quickly to assist our clients who are facing these serious allegations.
