Advising on Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality, and Intellectual Property Matters

At Singh Lamarche LLP, we understand that employment contracts often include restrictive covenants and intellectual property clauses that can significantly affect your rights during and after employment. We offer clear, practical legal advice to help you understand and manage the implications of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and intellectual property terms.

Our services include:

Review of employment agreements

We will review your contract to assess the scope and enforceability of non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality clauses. Our team will explain what these clauses mean for your current and future employment and whether they comply with legal standards in Ontario.

Legal advice on non-compete clauses

Non-competition clauses are increasingly scrutinized under Ontario law. We will help you understand whether your clause is likely enforceable and advise on the risks, limitations, and potential negotiation strategies available to you.

Guidance on non-solicitation obligations

We advise employees and departing professionals on non-solicitation clauses and their ability to contact or do business with clients, customers, or former colleagues. Our guidance is tailored to your position, industry, and the language of your agreement.

Confidentiality and proprietary information

We assist clients in understanding their obligations under confidentiality agreements and the steps required to protect sensitive information. We also advise on how to manage proprietary information and avoid disputes over alleged breaches.

Intellectual property rights

Our team provides advice on intellectual property matters, including ownership of inventions, designs, creative content, and other work-related developments. We help clarify your rights and obligations when IP is created during the course of employment or contract work.

Negotiation and drafting of restrictive covenants

Whether you are entering into a new role or exiting a company, we offer assistance in negotiating or drafting clear, enforceable restrictive covenants that protect your interests while respecting legal limits.

Understanding your post-employment obligations and intellectual property rights is essential to protecting your career and avoiding future legal disputes. Contact Singh Lamarche LLP for a confidential consultation to ensure your agreements are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your professional goals.
