Common Questions About Employment Contract Disputes
General information only — not legal advice.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable?
Enforceability varies significantly by state. Some states like California largely ban non-competes, while others enforce them if reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. The FTC has also proposed federal restrictions. An attorney in your state can evaluate your specific agreement.
What happens if I violate a non-compete?
Your former employer may seek an injunction to prevent you from working and/or sue for damages. However, many non-competes are unenforceable or can be narrowed by a court. Don't assume a non-compete is valid just because you signed it.
