When a former employee, contractor, or business partner violates a restrictive covenant, your company’s reputation and client relationships are at risk. Likewise, if you’ve been accused of breaching a non-compete, your livelihood may be on the line.
At Roussos Law Group, we represent both employers and individuals in non-compete litigation throughout Florida.
