Restrictive Covenant Enforceability

Protect Your Business By Availing Expert Attorney Guidance on Restrictive Covenant Enforceability

To protect your business interests from departing employees, you need to stay on top of changing state and federal laws. If properly drafted, restrictive covenants prevent employees from performing certain types of activities once they have left your organization. They are key for protecting your intellectual property, goodwill, relationships, and trade secrets. These covenants can either be a part of an employment agreement or a separation consensus. Sometimes, it also can be a stand-alone contract.

Kristin Mijares offers expert consultation to help you draft employment contracts and restrictive covenants that are not only compliant with the law but also enforceable down the line. Need help crafting enforceable Restrictive Covenant?

How Mijares Law Can Help With Restrictive Covenant Enforceability

Noncompete Agreements

A non-compete agreement prevents a former employee from operating or joining a competitor's company or launching a similar company within the agreed time. The Mijares Law assists you in drafting perfect noncompete clauses specific to your industry and legal jurisdiction.

Nonsolicitation Clauses

A nonsolicitation clause ensures an ex-worker does not approach the clients, customers, or other workers for a given period after exiting your firm. A law consultation on Restrictive Covenant Enforceability ensures these clauses are documented correctly and have proper legal backing.

Nondisclosure Agreements

A nondisclosure agreement (NDA) ensures that the information you consider sensitive and private is protected. It restricts the employees from disclosing any information that was disclosed to them in the course of their service. A legal consultant can advise and prepare NDAs that you can enforce and are appropriate to your business operations.

Why Do You Need Legal Consultation To Ensure The Enforceability of Restrictive Covenant?

Noncompete, non-solicit, and nondisclosure clauses are vital legal barriers that you must have in place. These are essential to prevent employees from undermining your business once they are gone. These clauses have to be well-formulated and realistic to ensure that they are enforceable.

Hiring a law consultant to draft an Enforceable Restrictive Covenant offers the following benefits:

  • Navigating State Regulations: Different statutes encompass different rules that govern the use and implementation of Restrictive Covenants. The laws are very specific to each state, and therefore, consult with Kristin Mijares if you comply.
  • Adapting to Federal Changes: There are different situations where governmental actions incompetent Biden's Executive Order work to curtail the use of noncompete clauses. With proper legal guidance, you can stay abreast of such alterations and assist in modifying your agreements in line with them.
  • Avoiding Blue Penciling Issues: Some states allow courts to "blue pencil" overly broad covenants. Attorney Kristin Mijares ensures your agreements are precise to avoid overbreadth issues and enhance enforceability.

Case Studies

Oil & Gas Executive

A company executive had to take several days of medical leave after his son suddenly fell ill. However, while on leave, his company suddenly fired him, claiming his work had recently been sub-par. The company’s excuse that they had not illegally infringed on his protected medical leave did not hold water, and it chose to instead offer a settlement not long after the case was filed.

Human Resources/Service Industry

A store clerk needed several weeks of medical leave after she suffered complications following a routine surgery. When she was due to return to work, her employer fired her, alleging she had failed to submit the required paperwork to ensure her medical leave was “protected.” Kristin Mijares filed suit for retaliation and wrongful termination and negotiated a substantial settlement for the clerk’s damages and emotional distress.

Business Counseling

Kristin Mijares counseled a prominent Dallas physician’s group on how to handle problem employees, complaints of discrimination or harassment, partnership disputes, terminations, or discipline.
