Employee Defection and Recruitment

Good talent is a company’s most important asset. Womble Bond Dickinson’s employment law attorneys work with employers to secure top professional talent, particularly when the previous employer may be an adverse party. 

Likewise, we help employers protect their interests when key talent leaves the company.

Womble Bond Dickinson’s veteran team represents employers on both sides of non-competes and other restrictive covenants. We help employers recruit wanting to hire employees who are under restraints with former employers, including drafting and enforcing non-competes and other restrictive covenants. 

We also represent employers wishing to enforce restrictive covenants and defend against employee raiding. This includes helping employers safeguard trade secrets when employees leave the company.

Our services to employers also include litigating related contract, fiduciary duty, trade secret, tortious interference, conspiracy and unfair competition disputes. Our employment litigation experience includes cases in state and federal courts, as well as in mediation and arbitration.
