Protect Your Company with Restrictive Covenants
Live Smartcast Webinar

There was a time when care was taken to make certain a departing employee didn’t sneak off carrying a briefcase loaded with pens and notepads. Today an ex-employee might stroll off to open his own company taking with him valuable assets - customers and coworkers who suddenly emerge as competitors.

The most important asset of any business is the confidential and proprietary information.
As an employer, ask yourself the question, “Will the individual possibly be in a position to damage our business success when they leave?” If the answer is yes, it is best to deal with the problem when they join your company, not when they depart.

There no time like the present to implement employee restrictive covenants. Every business has information that it considers both integral and invaluable to its success. This can include anything that gives an organization a competitive edge over its competitor such as client and customer databases, trade secrets and marketing strategies.

Restricting the use of information by employees after their term of employment may be vital to the protection of your business and customer contacts. Attend the upcoming Smartcast webinar to determine the protection your company needs and increase the enforceability using employee restrictive covenants.
