If you are confronted with a disloyal employee (or formal employee), who has poached (or is attempting to divert) your clients and the good will of your business, and thereby unfairly competing against your business by wrongfully purloining your trade secrets and confidential information without paying for it, you've come to the right place.
Your former employer has sued - or is threatening to sue - over the purported violation of a non-compete clause in your employment agreement;. You're thinking of leaving your current job - either to start your own business or to work for someone else, but want/need some clarity whether you are barred from doing so by the non-compete clause in your contract; or, .
It's a term that is - and has- been thrown around in rather cavalier fashion, as a way of saying the other side impinged on your turf. But it is first and foremost a term that has legal significance, it is somewhat of a hybrid between a number of different legal doctrines, and therefore shares - or borrows - from them, that has led to a significant amount of confusion in defining exactly what tortious interference is - and what it isn't.
Too often, people break their word. And as a result, many people are left without any recourse to recover what they are owed after they've been wronged. Some of these people who have been wronged can recover what they've lost and never pursue it because they don't know that New York will, in limited circumstances, allow recovery even if you didn't have a written or signed agreement.
If you've been wronged by an employee, and you feel like they've betrayed your trust, your first inclination might be to think that they may be liable to you for breach of fiduciary duty. In most cases, the answer - at least under New York law - is no; fiduciary relationships are only created in very limited circumstances.

I've known Jonathan for 30 years, and Jonathan is an exceptional attorney. He's abilities as an attorney are second only to his ethical standards. He's responsive, efficient and fair. He's the guy that isn't taking a case he doesn't feel will benefit the client no matter what fees he can expect to make. I recommend him 100%

As a fellow attorney, I have used Jonathan as a resource on multiple occasions for multiple legal issues. He possesses the legal acumen and judgement I am comfortable relying upon as well as excellent instincts as to the most effective way to achieve results. A client could not do better than having Jonathan on his or her side.

Jonathan Cooper is a fantastic attorney for all things Labor related. I've retained him for my own employment agreements in the past. I've also gotten counsel for him on the employer side for multiple clients of my own. He's helped us solidify our non-compete and non-solicit provisions in our employment agreements. He is a super professional attorney, his guidance and practical experience from cases he's tried, and his advice are invaluable. I highly recommend that anyone on the employee or employer reach out to Jonathan.
