Post-Contractual Non-Compete Agreement – Employment lawyer
A post-contractual non-compete agreement can significantly affect a career move. I assess the clause, compensation, and legal consequences.
For Post-Contractual Non-Compete Agreement, these points are especially important:
- ›Form, wording, and statutory requirements determine whether the restriction binds at all.
- ›A binding post-contractual restriction generally requires an adequate compensation promise.
- ›Time, territory, activities, and protected interests must not restrict work unreasonably.
- ›Only comparing the clause with the new position shows whether a breach is likely.
The first step is to clarify: Whether clause, compensation, duration, and scope actually restrict a career move.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
