Helping Employers Enforce Agreements And Safeguard Confidential Information
When employees leave a company, disputes often arise over what they can take, who they can contact, or whether they’re violating agreements. Non-compete and non-solicit clauses, as well as protections for trade secrets and proprietary data, are critical tools for maintaining your competitive position — but they require careful enforcement to hold up.
At DHDuerr Law LLC, we help employers respond effectively to post-employment misconduct and breaches of restrictive covenants. Whether you're pursuing enforcement or defending against an allegation, we guide you through the process with a focus on preserving your business integrity and reducing exposure.

What types of disputes do employers commonly face?
These disputes often involve former employees joining competitors, contacting clients, or misusing confidential information. Issues can also arise when a competing business hires away key personnel or attempts to solicit your workforce in violation of existing agreements.
The impact of these situations can be significant, including lost revenue, weakened client relationships, and long-term damage to business continuity. When agreements are unclear or unenforced, employers may face challenges asserting their rights or maintaining their competitive position.
Legal Strategy to Protect What Your Business Has Built
We assist businesses with drafting and enforcing restrictive covenants, managing cease-and-desist actions, and pursuing or defending litigation when necessary. Our approach balances aggressive protection of business interests with practical risk assessment. Whether your concern involves client poaching, data misuse, or a breach of a confidentiality clause, we help you act decisively and lawfully.

Protect your competitive advantage with experienced legal counsel. If your business needs help enforcing a non-compete or protecting sensitive information, we’re here to help. Schedule a consultation to discuss your next steps.
What Can Employers Do to Strengthen Enforcement Before Disputes Arise?
The best time to reinforce your agreements is before there is a problem. Clear, well-drafted non-compete and non-solicit clauses, paired with sound onboarding and offboarding procedures, help protect your business when key employees move on.
Employers turn to us to audit and improve their restrictive covenants, develop defensible documentation practices, and take proactive steps to reduce exposure. This preventive approach ensures that, when enforcement is needed, your position is clear and your business is protected.
