Risks of Hiring Employees from Another Firm
The scenario is a familiar one: An individual decides to leave his current employment and accept employment with a new employer. As it turns out, the employee has signed an agreement with the former employer restricting his or her right to compete with the former employer (non-compete agreement), prohibiting him or her from soliciting employees or customers of the former employer (non-solicitation agreement) and/or requiring him or her to maintain the confidentiality of the former employer's trade secret and/or proprietary information (confidentiality agreement). This article focuses on the risks faced by the new employer in hiring such an individual.
