Commonly Asked Questions

What are the key components of a non-compete agreement?

A non-compete agreement typically includes several key components that define its scope and enforceability. These components include the duration of the restriction, which specifies how long the employee is prohibited from competing; the geographic area, which outlines the specific locations where the restriction applies; and the activities that are restricted, detailing what types of competition are not allowed. Additionally, the agreement should clearly state the legitimate business interests that it aims to protect, such as trade secrets or customer relationships.

How can I ensure my non-compete agreement is enforceable?

To ensure that your non-compete agreement is enforceable, it must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. Courts typically evaluate whether the agreement protects legitimate business interests without imposing undue hardship on the employee. It is crucial to draft the agreement with clear language and specific terms that align with your industry standards.

What should I do if an employee violates a non-compete agreement?

The first step is to review the terms of the agreement to confirm the violation. Next, it is advisable to gather evidence of the breach, such as documentation of the competing activities. You may then consider reaching out to the employee to discuss the situation and seek a resolution. If necessary, our team at Marzella Law Group in Cary, NC, can assist you in pursuing legal action, which may include sending a cease-and-desist letter or filing a lawsuit to enforce the agreement and protect your business interests.

Can non-compete agreements be modified after they are signed?

Yes, non-compete agreements can be modified after they are signed, but both parties must agree to the changes. Modifications may be necessary due to changes in business circumstances, employee roles, or shifts in the competitive landscape. It is essential to document any modifications in writing to ensure clarity and enforceability.
