Non-compete agreements allow employers to protect their customer relationships, marketing strategy and trade secrets from competitors. However, when these agreements go too far, they can interfere with an employee's ability to earn a living.

Breach of Non-Compete Agreements
Non-compete agreements typically prevent an employee from working for a competing company for one to two years after leaving their employer. Sometimes these agreements have a geographic focus — for example, preventing you form working for a competitor within a specific geographic focus. Employees at all levels of a company — key executives, sales representatives and technical employees — may be asked to sign non-compete agreements.
While there are legitimate business reasons to ask some employees to sign a non-compete agreement, these agreements can be overreaching and overly restrictive. In these cases, there may be a way to challenge the agreement in court.
Attorney William Julien will also evaluate the reasons your employment ended with your employer to determine if you have possible claims against your employer, such as discrimination.
