Non-Compete Defense
Beat Your Noncompete
Not sure there is anyone in South Carolina with more experience fighting non-compete agreements than me. The number of court disputes over non-competes has steadily grown, and with most cases settling out of court, we know these agreements are far more widespread than the reported decisions show. I’ve seen firsthand how non-competes can stifle employment mobility and a person’s pursuit of their highest worth. Non-competes can be enforceable, but many are written too broadly, last too long, or reach far beyond any legitimate business interest. Courts will enforce reasonable restraints and may award damages, but smart planning and early legal advice can change the outcome.

Non-competes aren’t limited to C-suite roles anymore; they now show up across sales, technical, and operational positions. I evaluate what the contract really covers, what the employer can legitimately protect, and how to move forward with the least disruption to your career or business. And if you have received a cease and desist letter, then I can help you respond and assert legal arguments that help you Beat Your Noncompete. Many non-compete disputes include trade-secret or confidentiality claims. I advise on the South Carolina Trade Secrets Act, confidential-information handling, and evolving doctrines like inevitable disclosure—so we can protect your reputation and reduce risk while we position the case.
This is what I do. I have been at this a while. Learned plenty of lessons the hard way but that experience helps me represent my clients.
