Restrictions on Competition

At Davis & Gilbert, we understand that the departure of even a limited number of employees can have a profound effect on the continuity of a service business. These activities are regulated by the laws governing fiduciary relationships, unfair competition, contract and trade secrets.

Our Litigation and Labor and Employment group is continually called upon to advise both employers and employees in this increasingly important area of law. Although we are not limited to any industry, our particular focus is on service businesses such as investment banks, advertising agencies and consumer product companies.

Among the noteworthy issues we have litigated in this field are:
• Fiduciary duty and misappropriation of corporate opportunities

• Enforceability of restrictive covenants

• Enforceability of non-raiding and non-solicitation agreements

• Contractual restrictions on an executive's post-termination agreements, whether in employment agreements, deferred compensation plans or stock option plans
