With elaborate competition bans and debauchery bans, you can protect your business from competitors who steal from your customers and employees. You and your team should be the only ones benefiting from your hard-earned position in the market. In 2016, the White House released a report that issued a call to action for non-competition reform at the level of state law throughout our country. Since then, many states have tinkered with their competition bans in order to clearly define when and under what circumstances an employer can subject a worker to a non-compete agreement. For example, less than a month ago, Washington State passed legislation that significantly limited non-compete agreements with employees and independent contractors. Here you will find a full summary of Washington`s new law and restrictions. JJH Law has extensive experience assisting organizations and individuals in Oregon and Washington in the development of agreements and procedural issues regarding debauchery prohibitions and competition bans. Strong agreements are important to ensure the existence of contracts in court and to prevent employees from leaving and competing directly with your own customers and intellectual property against you. JJH Law`s NCA lawyers can help you design and establish agreements that exist in court. Our labour lawyers can also help you fight disputes related to non-competition and prohibitions on debauchery. You just know Oregon and Washington and labor laws and you know how to get results. Although this requirement only applies to non-competition clauses (unlike debauchery ban agreements or garden leave clauses), employers should consider it a proven practice to remind outgoing workers of all their obligations after the termination of the employment contract. The potential negative effects on your business capacity, if you sign one of these agreements, make it extremely important to contact a lawyer before signing.
While no one likes to think about leaving a company when they start a new position, most jobs don`t last forever. Whether it`s because you want to advance in your abilities and undress on your own, or simply because the position doesn`t turn out to be good, you want to be ready for a possible exit. . . .
