What does a Non-Compete Review Include?
It includes one of our experienced non-compete attorneys: (i) reviewing and analyzing the agreement; (ii) conducting a deep dive call with our client to provide detailed feedback; and (iii) providing our client with a video/audio recording of the call. The meeting with the attorney includes:
- Assessment of restrictive covenant enforceability and extent of enforceability.
- Assessment of client’s employment-based claims and other circumstances that may
provide client with more leverage in negotiating the non-compete/non-solicit provisions. - Providing guidance on what the attorney recommends the client can do, should do, and
should not do, often with a focus on avoiding litigation while obtaining new job or
starting new business. - Advising on the risks associated with future employment options or business ventures to
make an informed decision.
As a separate service, we also respond to cease and desist letters, negotiate disputes, and
represent clients in litigation.
What is the Cost of a Non-Compete Review or Drafting?
The cost depends on the type of agreement involved and scope of services. For review and guidance of non-competes, non-solicits, and non-disclosure agreements, the minimum flat fee is typically about $950.
The above flat fee is only a general guideline and is subject to change based on individual circumstances, including any request for expedited services. We also generally charge more if more than one agreement or document needs to be reviewed. We also generally will not agree to review only part of an agreement, as that approach prevents our attorneys from providing fully informed advice.
Our flat fee and hourly rates are competitive. We do not try to be the “cheapest” option. Our attorneys are highly experienced and credentialed. Clients retain us for the best overall value for legal services.
What is the Cost of Non-Compete & Related Business Litigation?
The cost for non-compete and related litigation depends on many factors. Depending on the circumstances, we offer hourly rate fees, flat phased fees, success fees, and other alternative fee structures.
What are the Benefits of Hiring a Non-Compete Attorney?
Non-compete disputes are often nothing short of a life event. Non compete law is a very niche, complex area of law. Regardless of who you hire, they should be a specialist in non-compete law, as opposed to a generalist or an attorney who merely dabbles in non-compete law.
We have a dedicated practice group with non-compete attorneys who will provide comprehensive review/guidance and, where appropriate, negotiation and litigation services for all types of employment agreements, including non-compete agreements. Our attorneys do not dabble – they regularly provide guidance and litigation services relating to high stakes non-compete matters.
What is Your Industry Specific Experience?
We’ve represented clients in virtually every industry, including but not limited to insurance, marketing, financial services, hospitality, solar, home services, recruiting/staffing, and healthcare. Having represented over 1,000 clients with serious non-compete matters, there are few (if any) situations or industries that we have not dealt with.
