Restrictive Covenants &
Executive Employment Contracts
ARH lawyers have significant experience in negotiating executive employment agreements on behalf of employers, as well on the behalf of executives, and regularly draft restrictive covenant agreements, including those guarding against the disclosure of confidential material, raiding of customers and employees, and competitive employment by departed employees. Together with the lawyers of our Litigation Division, our employment litigation team also regularly prosecutes and defends trade secret and covenant-not-to-compete actions.
Issues that are frequently addressed in these agreements include:
- salary, bonuses, profit sharing, stock options;
- life and health benefits;
- severance pay plans;
- trade secret agreements;
- competition restrictions;
- solicitation of customers, suppliers, and employees; and
- intellectual property.
