Atlanta Non-Compete Lawyer

Skilled Non-Compete Lawyers Serving Atlanta, Georgia

If you have questions about a non-compete or non-solicit agreement, the Atlanta non-compete lawyers at our firm can help. We have significant experience litigating the enforceability of non-compete and non-solicit agreements, and we also routinely counsel clients about how to navigate the requirements of these agreements.

Non-compete agreements typically restrict an employee from leaving a company and engaging in a competing business.  For example, a non-compete agreement may prohibit an employee from working for a competitor or starting her own competing business.  These agreements can protect a company’s legitimate business interests, but they can also thwart an employee’s ability to find work with new employers or start their own entrepreneurial business.

Non-solicitation agreements typically prohibit an employee from soliciting the employer’s clients and/or employees from leaving the employer to do business with a different company.  For example, a non-solicit agreement might prohibit an employee from soliciting business from her former employer’s customers, or it could prohibit the employee from soliciting her former co-workers to leave their employer and join the employee’s new business.

Both non-compete and non-solicit agreements are usually constrained to geographic and temporal scope. However, some may be tied to specific competitive businesses, business products, business activities, or customers.
