Restrictive Covenants

We have deep experience in claims involving restrictive covenants, which include non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions. We also regularly advise clients on unfair competition issues and employee raiding. Our experience includes reviewing and analyzing restrictive covenants in employment agreements, mitigating litigation concerning employees with prior restrictive covenants, and negotiating deals between prior employers and new employers regarding employees with restrictive covenants. We also advise on bonus, stock option, severance, and confidentiality agreements.

We have represented many clients in restrictive covenant disputes – some for clients seeking to enforce such covenants and others for clients seeking to have the covenants declared unenforceable. Many of our clients rely on our expertise on Georgia law, which is extremely complex on the enforceability of such covenants. We have also handled numerous restrictive covenants disputes in other states, including Florida, Texas, California, North Carolina and South Carolina.
