NON-COMPETE CLAUSES AND COMPETITION IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

Are you a California employee who is being recruited by a company your current employer considers to be competition? Or have you already started at your new company, but your old employer is trying to restrain you from conducting your business? According to the CA Supreme Court, your employer is not acting in accordance with the law.

The California Labor Codes states that your employer cannot restrain you from going to work for a competitor or from contacting clients of your former company. Additionally, your employer cannot by contract limit you from engaging in your profession, trade or business. These contracts are often known as non-compete contracts. There are, however, a few exceptions to this non-compete rule which an experienced employment attorney will be able to go over with you.

If your current or former employer is attempting to enforce a non-compete clause against you, CA law is on your side. If you are in California, call the skilled legal team of Law Offices of David H.
