Noncompete Agreements: Help
Maintain the Confidentiality of Your Ideas
When an employee leaves your business, is he or she taking
things along that you would rather not give up? Is the employee
going to open up in competition with you, or try to steal your
customers, or employ secret processes that are a source of your
competitive advantage? Obviously, no employer wants to lose an
employee under those circumstances.
One way to avoid this is to enter into agreements with your
employees that restrict their rights to compete with you. You
can make such an agreement a condition of employment, if you
wish. The attached file contains several examples of noncompete
agreements that provide samples of the general language that you
would expect to find in noncompete agreements for executives,
professionals, artists, and inventors. Because of the variances
in state law on noncompete agreements, legal counsel should be
sought before drafting any noncompete agreement. The content of
a noncompete agreement should be individually tailored to fit
each company's particular circumstances.
The file is in rich text format (RTF) that is suitable for use
with most word processing programs used in the Windows
environment. |
