> Non-Compete & Non-Solicit Agreements

Non-compete agreements are legal agreements made between employers and employees where employees agree not to compete with their employers for a designated period of time after leaving a position. Non-solicitation agreements prevent an employee from soliciting the customers or clients of their former employer. Both of these types of agreements can be necessary to protect an employer’s business interests, but must be narrowly tailored to ensure they do not interfere too much with an employee’s right to make a living.

If you are drafting or signing a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement, it is essential that you have experienced advice from someone with a detailed knowledge of Ontario employment law. The lawyers at Porco Levy Zavet LLP are trained professionals who have handled many cases involving these types of employment agreements. We can explain your legal rights, negotiate and draft a contract and provide you with details on whether a contract sufficiently protects your legal interests.

Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements often lead to legal disputes and PLZ Law has represented both employers and employees in cases where non-compete or non-solicitation contracts are challenged or allegedly breached.
