Employment Agreement Review and Negotiation
Castronovo & McKinney, LLC assists employees and executives with reviewing and negotiating employment agreements, executive compensation plans, and job offers. These agreements are binding during and after employment, regardless of how it ends. They often include non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, which can restrict your future professional activities.
Understanding Employment Contracts
Employment contracts define your relationship with the company, detailing compensation and potential restrictions on external earnings during and post-employment. It’s crucial to understand these terms fully, and our attorneys guide you through every clause to safeguard your interests.
Non-Compete Clauses in Employment Agreements
Non-compete agreements restrict former employees from using sensitive information, such as client details and trade secrets, to compete with their former employer. These agreements must protect the employer’s legitimate interests, not cause undue hardship on the employee, and not harm the public interest.
Non-Solicitation Agreements
Non-solicitation agreements limit your interactions with specific businesses or individuals post-employment, often appearing in initial employment contracts, severance agreements, or other documents. These clauses prevent former employees from enticing away clients, customers, or colleagues, significantly impacting your future employment opportunities.
Limits on Hiring Employees
Non-solicitation agreements often prevent individuals from hiring their former employer’s employees, protecting the employer’s workforce and operational stability. Understanding these agreements is vital, as they can impact future employment decisions and professional networking.
Limits on Doing Business with Customers
Non-solicitation agreements may also prevent former employees from conducting business with their previous employer’s clients. These clauses protect the employer’s customer base and business interests. The scope of these agreements can vary, and understanding their specific language and implications is crucial.
