Noncompetes
Non-compete agreements, also known as covenants not to compete, are contracts between an employer and an employee that can significantly restrict the employee's future opportunities. While they should be designed to protect an employer's legitimate trade secrets, customer relationships, and other confidential information, they are also often abused. Employers may use them to stamp out competition, hold employees hostage, and suppress wages. This is where legal protection becomes crucial.
As an employment attorney, Anders understands the significant impact non-compete agreements can have on the lives and careers of employees. Anders has helped countless individuals escape abusive non-competes or limit their effect, allowing them to regain control of their professional lives.
Non-compete agreements in Michigan must be reasonable in scope and duration. However, the law is in flux, and many government agencies are opposing them.
