Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  A covenant not to compete (also known as a non-competition covenant) can be an effective way to protect your business, whether you are protecting your existing business or buying a new one. Non-competition clauses are commonly included in employment contracts, sale agreements, and shareholder agreements. A well-drafted non-competition covenant may mean the difference between your business’ success or failure. However, courts often give non-competition covenants extra scrutiny, and there are circumstances where courts will not enforce them.
