Many employers require their employees to sign employment agreements. The agreements are designed to prohibit employees from soliciting or encouraging other employees to leave their employment in order to join a direct competitor. These types of agreements are often called "anti-raiding" agreements. Unlike noncompete agreements that violate California public policy and are therefore unenforceable, California courts have in some situations upheld nonsolicitation of employee agreements. Los Angeles attorneys at Fisher & Talwar are highly qualified in litigating nonsolicitation of employee agreements.
Handling Anti-Raiding Claims in Southern California
The validity of these agreements will depend upon:
- The reasonableness of the restrictions;
- The impact they may have on the trade; and
- The person being restrained and potential pool of employees
Thus, if the anti-employee-solicitation covenant slightly impact's one's ability to compete but allows the employer to maintain its work force and continue to engage in its business, the courts will likely uphold the restrictive covenant.
