San Diego Non-Compete Employment Attorneys

Effective California Employment Lawyers

Non-compete, also known as non-competition or “covenant not to compete”, is an agreement between an employer and employee that the employee will not pursue a similar profession or trade that would put them in competition with the employer. The purpose of a non-compete agreement is to protect employers from a former employee starting his or her own business or working for a competing company while using inside information about the employer to gain an unfair advantage. However, a non-compete agreement can be abused in that it may prevent a former employee from gaining employment at all.

Let Legion Counsel help you find the best qualified employment attorney to fit your needs. With thorough investigation and a good understanding of non-compete agreements, the lawyers we recommend can evaluate your specific situation to find where your rights have been violated.

The last thing anyone needs is to face the possibility being unable to get another job in the field that they are already familiar with and trained on – simply due to an overly restrictive non-compete agreement. Counsel can investigate your case and help you get out of an unfair agreement so you can get employment or start your own business in the field you understand.

California Non-Compete Protection

California employment laws favor employees and their rights to fair employment and termination, as well as their right to attain employment. The California Business and Professional Code (CBPC) states that an agreement which prevents an employee from gaining employment is an agreement that should not be legally enforceable.
