Florida Non-Compete Agreement Lawyer
The law is about fairness. Is it fair for an employee to learn a trade or business from you, and suddenly leave and start a competing business? Is it fair for an employer to prohibit an employee from ever starting a similar business anywhere in the world?
These interests are balanced in the law. Normally, an agreement with restrictions for only a limited time period is valid and enforced. The geographical limitations are also relevant. A very distant business usually is not considered a competitor to the original business.
Let an experienced attorney review a document you are being asked to sign. If you have already signed and wish to know what rights you have, and how the courts would rule if you did start a business, our firm can advise you and represent you.
If you are an employer seeking to protect your business, let us draft an agreement that your employees can sign, and that would be upheld in court. If you already are facing a competing business you feel is unfair, we can pursue legal action to protect your business.
