Employee Mobility & Restrictive Covenants

Overview

It is critical for businesses to protect their trade secrets, other confidential information, investments in employee training and development, and customer relationships — and for good reason. Increased competition for talent, related employee mobility, changes in applicable laws and the ever-evolving electronic data landscape place all at risk. Faegre Drinker protects your business’s intangible assets and helps ensure fair competition by drafting and advising on noncompetition, nonsolicitation and other forms of restrictive covenant agreements, as well as by advising employers with respect to employee hiring, recruitment and mobility generally. And when the risks accelerate, with time often of the essence, we can swiftly assemble finely tuned teams of lawyers who understand your business to litigate restrictive covenant and unfair competition issues and, depending on the circumstances, seek or defend against immediate injunctive relief.
