• Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses

Employment agreements must include provisions to protect the company or employee’s confidential information. Employees may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, especially if they can access sensitive company information.

The contract will clarify ownership of any intellectual property the employee creates during employment and specify whether the company or the employee retains rights to inventions, designs, or other work-related creations.

If applicable, it will specify any restrictions on the employee’s ability to work for a competitor or solicit clients or employees from the company after the employment relationship ends.
