A non-compete agreement restricts an employee’s ability to work for an employer or start a competing business in the same industry after leaving their employer. There are often legal disputes over whether these agreements are enforceable. Given the new ruling by the FTC, it is more critical than ever to obtain legal counsel regarding non-competes, and Hale & Hodges Law is here to help.
At Hale & Hodges Law, we help entrepreneurs select the right entity and set up their business for success from the start. We are not only focused on providing businesses with a solid foundation, but also standing with them through each step of growth.
You can trademark various aspects of your business, services, or products. This can increase the value of your business and help protect it. However, in order to fully avail yourself of these benefits you need to register it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Registering your trademark provides notice to the public that what you worked so hard to create is truly yours and gives you solid legal footing to fend off any attempts to infringe on it. Let Hale & Hodges Law help you register your trademark today.
Whether it’s contract formation or negotiation, we will work to minimize your exposure. Hale & Hodges Law has the knowledge and experience to help your business navigate and avoid unnecessary pitfalls by reviewing your contacts from inception.
