Kegler Brown attorneys have extensive experience drafting and litigating issues relating to the enforcement of non-competition restrictions. Our attorneys are well versed in Ohio law regarding the enforceability of such restrictions.
We have represented clients in hundreds of temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction hearings/trials and related injunction proceedings concerning the enforcement of non-competition covenants. Litigation of this type often also includes trade secret claims and other claims relating to the use of confidential business information.
Our thorough understanding of the law in this area allows our attorneys to assist business clients by crafting restrictions that protect important proprietary business investments and information and that maximize the likelihood that such restrictions will be found by the courts to be reasonable and enforceable. Where appropriate, this same knowledge can be used to prevent the enforcement of unreasonable restrictions that unfairly limit our clients' business opportunities.
Kegler Brown attorneys have successfully represented businesses and individuals on both sides of the equation relating to the enforcement of non-competition restrictions. Our lawyers frequently speak on the topic of non-competition litigation and have provided expert witness testimony on the subject. Our experience allows us to implement litigation strategies that craft claims, defenses and discovery in a way that is efficient and effective.
