Non-compete, Non-solicitation and Non-disclosure Agreements
I am often asked about the enforceability of non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disclosure Agreements. The answer depends on the specific facts of your case. These agreements can be enforceable if certain legal requirements are met.
A non-compete agreement prohibits a former employee from working with a competitor within the same geographic area in which the employer operates for a specified period of time.
A non-solicitation agreement prohibits a former employee from contacting clients and often other employees for the purpose of luring them away from the former employer.
A non-disclosure agreement prohibits a former employee from disclosing confidential, proprietary or trade secret information.
Often, you will find all three of these agreements combined into one document.
Please contact Patricia Abell for a confidential consultation if you need legal advice regarding one of these agreements. (502) 561-3455
Employment contracts
Since Kentucky is an employment at will state, it is rare for an employer to deliberately create a contract of employment. However, there are still a number of contracts that an employee may be asked to sign. This includes non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, non-disclosure agreements and severance agreements.
