Non-Compete Agreements

 

Non-compete agreements place legal contractual reins on ex-employees who are setting up competing firms or going to work for competitors. Non-disclosure agreements can be separate from non-compete agreements and restrict the disclosure of trade secrets, marketing plans, and confidential information. Non-disclosure agreements can be stand-alone agreements or just incorporated into an employee handbook.
