Our clients in restrictive covenants litigation include employers, sellers of businesses, and current or former employees. Depending on the terms of your agreement and the interests you need to protect, we can pursue a range of remedies on your behalf, including injunctive relief, money damages, liquidated damages, attorney fees and disgorgement of profits.
Florida courts are ready to enforce restrictive covenants in employment contracts, but only if they are clear and reasonable in their scope. When we represent executives or professionals seeking release from employment restrictions, we look for evidence of waiver, failure of consideration or undue hardship. On behalf of employers, the critical evidence will usually link the former employee's breach to specific and identifiable damage to the former employer's business.
