Noncompete agreements are critical for employers. By signing a noncompete agreement, an employee is agreeing not to engage in a profession or trade that competes with his or her employer. Because employers invest considerable time and resources in the training of employees and often divulge secrets of their trade, the enforceability and effectiveness of noncompete agreements is essential.

Noncompete agreements place limitations on employees for a specified period of time concerning the type of employment and geographic area in which the employee may seek new employment or start a competing business. Noncompete agreements should be carefully drafted, reviewed, and analyzed by all parties to minimize the likelihood of future conflicts.

It is especially important to ensure that a skilled lawyer has drafted or reviewed your contracts in order to ensure that the language used will hold up in court. If your agreement restricts too much activity or covers too broad of an area, it could fail.
