California Non-Compete Contract Lawyers

Southern California Non-Compete Agreement Attorneys

In the State of California, some employers require employees to sign a non-competition contract stating that at the end of the working relationship, the employee will not work for the competition or take customers. For example, some non-compete contracts ask that the employee not work for a competitor for a certain period after leaving their current job. This form of employment contract is legal in California, and is becoming more common in many professions. If you have a non-compete contract dispute with your employer, please contact a California non-compete contract attorney at the Law Offices of Terry Davis.

Many employees who are experienced in one field typically choose to continue working in that field for many years. Employees who are contractually obligated to wait a certain period of time before working in their chosen field may have difficulties finding an interim job with the wages and benefits to which they are accustomed.

All employment and non-compete contracts are different, and like any other contract, should be thoroughly reviewed before you sign them. There are certain instances in which non-compete contracts are not legal, such as when an employer forces an employee to sign the contract. After reviewing your contract, a non-compete attorney will be able to inform you about whether or not your non-compete contract is legally binding.
