Non-Compete & Restrictive Covenant
Cosgrove Simpson represents employees, executives, and businesses in disputes involving non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements, and other restrictive covenants. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling complex litigation and helping clients protect their careers and business interests.
We regularly defend employees and their new employers against claims brought by former employers for alleged violations of restrictive covenant agreements. Our team is highly experienced in responding to temporary restraining orders (TROs), preliminary injunctions, and emergency court proceedings, where swift legal action can determine whether an employee may continue working or whether an employer can enforce its contract.
For employees, our non-litigation services include a flat-rate review of employment agreements, including non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. We provide practical legal advice on whether restrictive covenants are likely to be enforceable under applicable law and how they may impact a new job, career transition, or business opportunity.
For employers, Cosgrove Simpson drafts, reviews, and updates non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and restrictive covenant agreements designed to protect confidential information, customer relationships, trade secrets, and other legitimate business interests while reducing the risk of future litigation.
Whether you need immediate representation in an injunction hearing, guidance before accepting a new position, or assistance creating enforceable restrictive covenant agreements for your business, Cosgrove Simpson provides strategic counsel and experienced courtroom advocacy. Our attorneys work efficiently to help clients resolve employment disputes and protect their professional and business interests.
