Restrictive Covenants & Executive Compensation
In today's business climate, where competitors frequently seek to hire each other's valued employees, issues routinely arise involving misappropriation of trade secrets, the enforceability of covenants not to compete and non-solicitation agreements, and unfair competition. Kravit, Hovel & Krawczyk is experienced in representing clients with these, and other, executive separation issues. We can help find creative solutions to these serious problems, whether you are the employer, employee or a competitor considering a hire.

In today’s business climate, where economic interests can sometimes eclipse personal or corporate ethics, organizations large and small should recognize the importance of preventative action. Consider hiring experienced attorneys to interpret and if necessary enforce restrictive covenants, to protect human resources and intellectual assets. Preserving business relationships and proprietary knowledge is paramount for a company to thrive in today’s competitive commercial landscape.

With more employment agreements containing arbitration clauses, retaining a law firm experienced and willing to secure temporary restraining orders, negotiate pretrial resolutions, and resolve disputes in court or through other dispute resolution mechanisms is a critical business need. We have significant experience with arbitration and other alternate dispute resolution forums, and know how to get great results using them.
