Non-Compete Agreements
About Non-Compete Agreements
According to Rocket Lawyer, a non-compete agreement or clause is “a legally binding contract whereby the employee agrees not to work with a rival company or start a similar trade or profession for a specified period of time after leaving his current employer.” This helps a business protect intellectual property and other valuable trade secrets. Occasionally, a business may place geographical limitations in addition to the specified time period.
How a Private Investigator Can Help
Hiring a private investigator can provide your company with valuable evidence for use in a civil suit against a former employee who violates a non-compete agreement. A private investigator provides an objective third-party evaluation of the actions of the former employee to determine if they are in violation of the agreement. While you are certainly allowed to conduct your own internal investigation, doing so opens your business up to allegations of bias in the investigative process. By outsourcing your investigation to a private investigations firm who looks for objective facts, you avoid bias in the investigation and defend yourself against bias allegations.
