Covenants Not to Compete

 
Few wounds strike as deep as those inflicted by people we trust, and that simple concept is at the heart of the law of covenants not to compete1 and trade secret protection. The good news for employers — especially in this computerized age of instant communications, heightened competition and highly mobile workers — is that most courts will enforce covenants not to compete and other restrictive covenants. They will also protect trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. But here’s the catch: Do it right, or watch the information and customers you want to protect drift away in a sea of unfair competition.
