Advice on non-compete clauses and NDAs

A non-compete and NDA lawyer advises on the clauses that limit what someone can do or say after a job or a deal ends. Typical work includes drafting confidentiality agreements for investors or suppliers, reviewing a non-compete before an employee signs, assessing whether an existing restriction can be enforced, negotiating a release when someone changes jobs and suing or defending over breach of confidence or trade secret misuse.

The rules are national, and in some countries they differ by state or province. Some jurisdictions void most employee non-compete clauses. Others enforce them only for a limited time and area, or only if the employer pays compensation during the restricted period. NDAs are generally valid, but many countries now limit their use to hide harassment or illegal conduct. Non-solicitation and trade secret laws sit alongside them.

Fees for drafting or reviewing are usually fixed. Disputes are billed hourly and can move fast, because employers often seek urgent court orders. Contingency fees may be possible in some countries for damages claims, but many systems ban or limit them, and employees may have legal expenses insurance or union help.

Time is tight in this area. Injunction applications are made within days, the restricted period itself runs out and claims for breach have limitation periods. Before hiring, ask how local courts treat non-compete clauses of this length and scope, whether compensation is owed, what the risk of an injunction is and what a negotiated release could cost. Employers should ask how to draft clauses that will hold up. Filter by country or city below to compare law firms that handle NDA and non-compete matters.
