Mississippi Non-Compete Agreements Lawyers
In an effort to prevent high-level or employees with specialized knowledge from leaving a position at a company for a similar position at another, employers may add a non-compete clause to their employment contracts. While many of these clauses are valid, some are so broad that they prohibit the employee from pursuing or obtaining any outside job opportunities, should they need to leave their current position.
If want to get out of a restrictive non-compete agreement, or if you want an attorney to review a non-compete clause before you sign a contract, the experienced employee rights lawyers at the law firm of Louis H. Watson, Jr., P.A., are ready to help you. Contact our office in Jackson, Mississippi, to schedule a consultation.

We fight for the rights and interests of our clients.
Overly broad non-compete clauses include employment restrictions in large geographical areas.
