Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Re: Employee non-compete agreement

No compete agreements are susceptible to numerous types of challenges in Maryland. Typically, such agreements are challenged because they were obtained without payment of valid consideration; because they are too broad in scope; because they are too restrictive, etc. However, courts do enforce them regulalry. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to give any advice on this issue without reading the actual agreement and then getting the whole set of facts from you as to the circumstances of the employment that gave rise to the agreement.

I would be happy to chat with you briefly about this for free on the telephone. Give me a call and I can determine whether there is any sense to proceeding any further.
