Houston Business Attorney, Business Litigation Lawyer Overview

Serving the Houston, Texas, area, the non-compete contract lawyers of Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon, P.C., routinely help their clients draft or interpret non-compete agreements.

Many people think that non-compete agreements are just a way for employers to restrict their former employees’ job prospects. In reality, a well-drafted agreement can provide just as much protection to the employee as to the employer.

Non-compete agreements cannot be overly broad. In order to ensure this, there are many rules that the agreement must comply with, including:

• The employee must receive something of value at the time the agreement is signed.
• The non-compete must protect a legitimate interest of the employer.
• The agreement must be for a reasonable length of time.
• The agreement must have a reasonable scope, including geographic region and type of work.

Our Houston business lawyers carefully scrutinize non-compete agreements for our clients and discuss these agreements with them so they fully understand what they are agreeing to. Our clients appreciate this attention to detail and customer service, and this helps us to build strong, ongoing relationships with our clients.

We strive to provide a full-service experience for our customers dealing with non-compete agreements in the Houston area.
