Noncompetition Agreements

For over 30 years, Dunn Carney has been recognized for its broad expertise in the drafting and implementation of employment noncompetition, confidentiality and related restrictions.  We work closely with clients to draft provisions that are sufficiently broad to protect important underlying interests such as trade secrets and business goodwill, but at the same time sufficiently narrow to survive strict court scrutiny as to enforceability.

As many of our clients have offices and employees stationed throughout the United States (and in some cases around the world), Dunn Carney also has broad experience in fashioning these types of restrictions to ensure enforceability in the applicable state or country.  Through our affiliation with Meritas, we are also able to utilize local legal resources when assistance is appropriate.

In those settings where it becomes necessary to enforce such post-employment restrictions, the lawyers at Dunn Carney are experienced in all phases of litigation, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.  Our goal is to work with our clients to reach business results that are practical, economic and strategically effective.
