I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.
Non-Compete Agreement: Protecting Trade Secrets and Confidential Information in Florida
Since your employees know your business, a Non-Compete Agreement (NCA) protects your trade secrets from your competition.
An NCA is a legal document in which your employees promise not to work for your direct competitors for a limited period after leaving your employment.
If you have workers in Tampa Bay, you need a Florida non-compete agreement lawyer to ensure the document is enforceable in Florida.
Contact the Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates now to get started.
Why Should My Business Have a Non-Compete Agreement?
Your trade secrets make your company unique and give you a competitive advantage. You can only exploit these secrets as long as they remain secret.
By necessity, your employees learn how your business works. If they leave–either by your decision or theirs–they carry this information with them.
Tampa trade secret attorneys stop your former employees from working for a direct competitor and using your own secrets against you.
A Tampa Non-Compete Agreement Attorney Protects Trade Secrets
A Florida non-compete agreement attorney will draft your NCA to meet Florida law. Without a Florida non-compete agreement lawyer, the agreement may be too general or not contain the necessary language, then the NCA may not be enforceable.
This means that if a former employee challenges the agreement, a judge may not take your side in court. In other words, she can start a business using everything she has learned from you without any repercussions.
