There are many reasons why employers may want to document their agreements with employees, contractors, and consultants. Ownership of work product, protection of trade and business secrets, non-competition provisions, and rights upon termination are just a few examples of common issues. Often form agreements may seem appealing, but may not reflect the actual relationship and may contain unenforceable provisions that leave the business owner with far less protection than presumed. Just as we learn our client’s business, we also gain a full understanding of the arrangement and, when appropriate, draft an agreement that provides the protection desired by our client.
