Invalidating a Non-Compete Agreement
There are circumstances that allow a departing employee to challenge the legitimacy of a non-compete agreement, even if this type of contract meets all the legal requirements, writes Romy Jurado of Jurado & Farshchian.
In her article, she discusses two questions that arise when an employee challenges a non-compete: Should an employee actually challenge the agreement? And: How exactly does an employee challenge it?
She also discusses the three basic approaches an employee might take to challenge the agreement: Ignoring it; negotiating with the employer; and filing a declaratory judgment action.
