Non-Compete Agreements and Employment Litigation
17 Years of Civil Litigation Experience in Missouri and Kansas
Employers have considerable legal capacity to compel employees to sign non-compete agreements, and can protect valid employer rights, including rights involving:
- Trade secrets
- Lender, debt and financial information
- Sales and marketing information and materials
- Confidential information
- Product design
- The sharing and use of client and vendor lists
- Natural resource geographical sites
However, powerful federal and state laws protect many employee rights and limit the geographical, timeline and employment restrictions often addressed in non-compete agreements. The Gladstone, Missouri, law firm of Gregory Leyh, PC focuses its practice on providing in-depth legal analysis of complex legal issues, including the "gray area" rights and restrictions often included in non-compete agreements and other employment contracts.
Is your former employer attempting to restrict your job, employment and livelihood freedoms following a voluntary or involuntary termination of employment? Do you have questions regarding an employment contract? Contact lawyer Gregory Leyh at 816-398-7456 or 888-882-6049.
Gregory Leyh is highly experienced in reviewing and analyzing non-compete agreements, and in successfully litigating for employees' rights. For instance, though your contract may state otherwise, you may nonetheless have the right to:
- Continue to work in your industry in close geographical proximity to your former employer
- Work for a new employer even though your former employer claims it is a competitor
- Accept an offered job immediately and not wait for the time limit proscribed in your non-compete agreement to pass
