Non-Compete Agreements

Our employment lawyers in San Antonio are on your side

Your employer may restrict your ability to work for a competitor after you leave your job through what is known as a non-compete agreement, or a non-competition agreement. Some companies protect themselves by asking employees to sign non-compete agreements, sometimes referred to as a covenant not to compete. These contracts, which are sometimes part of a severance agreement, typically allow an employer to put a restriction on a worker from doing business with a competitor in the geographical area for a limited time period.

Texas law governing non-compete agreements can be complicated. In an effort to protect their intellectual property, businesses may want employees to sign a non-compete agreement. However, employees as individuals have rights to participate in the free market for employment.
