Noncompete Agreement Attorneys

Employers in California and Nevada routinely ask employees to sign noncompete and/or non-solicitation agreements, or nondisclosure agreements and other types of restrictive covenants. These documents restrict the right of employees to compete directly with the employer or have contact with customers of the employer when employment ends. The enforceability of these agreements differs by state depending on the circumstances. As a general rule noncompete agreements are not enforceable against employees in California but they are enforceable against employees in Nevada. However, the terms of the noncompete against an employee are subject to limitations. These agreements can also be used between business partners or owners.

An employer who hires someone covered by a noncompete agreement can be named as a defendant in a noncompete lawsuit initiated by the employee’s first employer.

An Enforceable Agreement? Or Is It Unfair?
