Noncompete clauses

Many companies make employees sign non-compete clauses when they are hired.  Just because you sign a noncompete clause does not mean the clause is valid or enforceable.

Louisiana has a specific non-compete statute which strictly governs agreements not to compete.  Call us to evaluate your specific non-compete clause to see if it is enforceable.

These are just a few examples of the types of cases and legal matters that a business lawyer can handle. The scope of their work depends on the specific needs and challenges faced by businesses across different industries.
