Employment Contract Attorneys

Virginia Employment Contract AttorneysIn the context of an employment relationship, contracts can have significant impact on both the employee’s and employer’s current and future course of action.  Employment contracts can provide peace of mind to both parties as certain terms and conditions of the employment relationship are defined.  They may address matters such as compensation and benefits, retirement, stocks, termination notice, and severance terms.  Employment contracts can further address matters of confidentiality and even actions extending beyond the employment relationship.  For example, to retain trusted and expert employees, employers are increasingly imposing restrictive covenants such as non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure clauses.  While employment contracts are established to protect companies, the law also requires that employees’ rights must be protected as well, including their rights to earn a living.

Certain types of these employment contractual clauses or restrictive covenants attempt to specify who an employee can subsequently work for if the initial employment relationship is ended.  Additionally, employers use these types of employment contracts to safeguard trade secrets or other proprietary information that an employee may become privy to throughout the employment relationship.  Confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements can prevent employees from performing certain work or revealing certain methods or details after the employment relationship has ended.

It can be alarming to have allegations asserted against you – whether formally or informally – that you have breached an employment contract and are facing severe penalties.  When any such allegations of an employment contract breach are made, it is important for the employee to seek the advice and counsel of an experienced employment law attorney.  Similarly, if threats of forthcoming consequences are made should you take certain action, it is crucial that you receive sound legal advice as to your rights and responsibilities under the law.  Because the law views these types of employment contracts through a unique lens, a skilled employment law attorney can evaluate the employee’s actions or plans for action and provide legal advice on how to comply with any applicable restrictive covenant.
