Orlando, Florida Non-Compete Agreement Lawyer /
Attorney
REPRESENTING THE
EMPLOYEE IN RESTRICTIVE COVENANT DISPUTES
Restrictive covenant
(covenants not-to-compete) litigation involves
very high stakes, particularly for the employee
who faces a temporary, or perhaps permanent,
loss of his or her livelihood. Not only is it
often expensive and time-consuming, but also
emotionally and financially draining. Thus, at
the beginning of the representation, the
attorney representing an employee who may be
bound by a covenant not-to-compete should
carefully review and consider the merits of the
litigation, as well as the short-term and
long-term business ramifications for the client.
An employee must
contend with many concerns when faced with
restrictive covenant litigation. Being cognizant
of the time, expense and commitment required,
the most prudent course is for the employee to
consult with counsel early and work out a plan
of action before he or she leaves the place of
employment. In view of the high stakes involved,
all defenses to injunctive relief should be
investigated and vigorously pursued.
