Enforceability of Non-Compete Agreements
Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. represents individuals and businesses located in North East Florida including Duval, St. Johns, Ponte Vedra Beach, and surrounding counties with issues relating to non-compete agreements.
We help businesses evaluate the enforceability of their Florida non-compete agreements with their employees and the companies they do business with.
In addition, we evaluate the enforceability of individuals non-compete agreements with their employers to see if they are valid under Florida Law. Part of this analysis includes determination of how a court is likely to view the agreement if it is challenged.
Non-compete agreements must be analyzed as of the date they were entered into. There are separate rules based upon the date they were executed. We evaluate Florida non-compete agreements that were entered into prior to June 28, 1990, from June 28-1990 until June 28, 1996, and those entered into on or after July 1, 1996.
Most recent Florida Non-Compete Agreements are evaluated on the reasonableness as to time, geographic area, and business area to be restricted. Even if the agreement appears to be unreasonable a court may reduce the restrictions through a process called blue lining. It is important to deal with trade secrets, valuable confidential business or professional information, substantial relationships with specific prospective or existing clients, customers, and their goodwill associated with ongoing business, trade names, trade marks, geographic location as well as any extraordinary specialized training.
