Employers use many types of restrictive covenants (like non-competes, non-disclosures and
post-employment agreements) to guard intellectual assets, trade secrets, customer
information and other business information. These important tools can be vital for a business's
success. However, they must be drafted and executed with care - overly broad agreements or
agreements executed without proper counsel are certain to invite judicial scrutiny, especially during periods of high unemployment, and may ultimately be unenforceable.

Moreover, counsel must always keep damages in mind. While many employment agreement
cases start with a request fo r injunctive relief, they can result in significant damages. Both
sides must consider damages when preceding with litigation.
