Breach of Restrictive Covenants

At Singh Lamarche LLP, we provide strategic legal advice and representation in matters involving restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality clauses. These provisions can significantly affect both employers and employees during and after the employment relationship. When a dispute arises, we are here to help you understand your rights and navigate the legal complexities involved.

Our services include:

Evaluation of restrictive covenants

We will review your employment agreement to assess the validity and enforceability of any restrictive covenants. This includes analyzing whether the terms are reasonable in scope, geography, and duration, and whether they are likely to be upheld under Ontario law.

Legal advice tailored to your position

Whether you are an employer seeking to enforce a restrictive covenant or an employee concerned about your obligations or potential exposure, we will provide clear, practical advice on your legal rights and options.

Strategic representation in breach cases

If a breach has occurred or is alleged, we will develop a focused strategy to protect your interests. Our approach may include negotiation, mediation, or litigation depending on the circumstances and your goals.

Assistance with negotiating restrictions

We provide support in negotiating the terms of non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality clauses to ensure that they are fair, reasonable, and aligned with your professional or business needs.

Defense against enforcement

If you are facing a legal claim for breaching a restrictive covenant, we will defend your position using legal precedent and a strategic analysis of the facts. Our goal is to minimize risk and help you move forward without undue restriction.

Ongoing legal consultation
