Restrictive Covenant Litigation
Protecting your rights under non-compete agreements.
Restrictive covenant litigation (aka “non-compete” clauses) cases involve employers who try to prevent former employees from being employed elsewhere. Employees have a right to participate in the employees’ choice of industry and not be barred by a former employer. We take on tough restrictive covenant litigation cases to defend the rights of employees to move freely among companies.
Your profession is part of your identity, and people should be free to do what they love and earn a living in the industry of their choice. We are committed to defending workers’ freedom to participate in the marketplace. As a result, we select our cases based on the matters that represent the greatest threats to individual freedom of enterprise. Our main clients are the employee challengers in non-compete claims as well as clients who are defenders in a theft of price list/trade secret litigation by a former employer. Also, we are experienced in defending actions in the non-solicitation and non-compete space.
At Lahti Helfgott, we understand the need to balance the high stakes of commercial litigation against the threats that unfair employment practices have on personal freedom of enterprise. We work collaboratively to align our legal strategy with the client’s goals and to resolve disputes as efficiently as possible. We fight passionately on behalf of our clients, and we have even gone so far as to set important legal precedent on Colorado’s non-compete statute.
We have vigorously defended our clients who contested non-compete clauses in their contracts in Colorado, California, and Delaware. If you have an issue with an unfair restrictive covenant, reach out to us for help.
