A non compete clause limits certain activities after employment, while a non disclosure protects confidential information.
We tailor terms to your industry, employee roles, and the level of protection you need while staying within California rules.
A non compete is a restriction on post employment activities; a non disclosure requires parties to keep specific information confidential. Both should be clear, reasonable, and aligned with the business’s needs.
Common components include definitions of confidential information, scope of the restrictions, duration, remedies, and governing law. The drafting and review process involves discussion, negotiation, and finalization before signing.
Essential terms explained so you can understand your agreement and its protections.
A clause that restricts a former employee or contractor from engaging in similar work within a defined geographic area and time period, subject to California rules for enforceability.
Information disclosed under the agreement that must be kept confidential, including trade secrets, client lists, pricing, and internal methods.
A broad term covering agreements that limit a person’s ability to work in related fields or districts, with careful attention to reasonableness and legality.
Forms of confidential information that give a business a competitive edge and are protected by law and contract.
Options include NDAs, confidentiality agreements, and post employment covenants. Each option has different enforceability, scope, and practical considerations.

In California, broad post employment non-compete clauses are generally not enforceable, but narrowly tailored restrictions may be permitted in limited situations. A well drafted NDA can provide stronger protection for confidential information.
An NDA is a contract that requires parties to keep specified information confidential. It defines what is confidential, who may access it, and the consequences of disclosure.
Review agreements when roles change, when business needs shift, or when you hire new vendors. Regular updates help maintain protection and compliance.
Yes. Working with a California attorney helps ensure terms are clear, enforceable, and aligned with state law.
Bring business details, descriptions of confidential information, employee roles, access points, and any existing documents you want reviewed.
Durations and restraints depend on the work, scope, and applicable law. Terms should be reasonable and tailored to the relationship.
NDAs specifically protect confidential information, including trade secrets and client lists, when properly drafted and enforced.
If you suspect a breach, document what happened, notify the other party, and seek guidance on remedies and possible enforcement.
