Protecting Business Interests with Dozier Miller
Many businesses rely on non-compete agreements to protect their interests when employees or contractors might share trade secrets or proprietary information. Essentially, a non-compete agreement is a contract where the employee or contractor agrees not to take actions that could harm the employer’s business.
Advice for Business Owners on Non-Compete Agreements
While it might seem like non-compete agreements are a catch-all protection against competition, it's important to know that courts, especially in North Carolina, take a strict approach when reviewing these types of restrictions. This approach supports trade and an individual’s right to work. To ensure your non-compete agreement is enforceable, it must be specific and reasonable.
Investing in a well-crafted non-compete agreement can save you significant time, money, and stress down the road. At Dozier Miller, we draft non-compete agreements that stand up to court scrutiny. We’ll guide you on whether a non-compete is necessary, create terms that meet your needs, and help address any breaches that might occur.
