Antheil Maslow & MacMinn attorneys counsel employers in the Greater Philadelphia area including Bucks County and Montgomery County, helping them comply with state, federal and local laws and ordinances while insulating them against exposure to employee claims and lawsuits. Although our practice is centered on the representation of corporate and business clients, our legal team is regularly called upon to protect the interests of individual corporate officers and directors, prominent business leaders and public personalities.

Addressing harassment claims, managing the associated risk, and preventing litigation is the goal of our Labor & Employment Group attorneys; we are well equipped to assist employers in crafting and maintaining policies that safeguard the integrity of their workforce.

However, our long courtroom experience on behalf of employers as well as individuals permits full representation should litigation become necessary.

 

Nearly every business has valuable confidential information, and many derive substantial value from this information, making it a dominant asset of the entity.  It follows that protection of proprietary information within an organization is a vital business priority.  Non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements are critical tools to protect value and form a core part of the intellectual property of a business. 

Employers and employees must evaluate the enforceability of restrictive covenants.  Many factors are considered when courts determine whether such agreements are valid.  Antheil Maslow & MacMinn employment attorneys can help employers draft enforceable documents that protect the business.  We can also act swiftly and effectively to enforce employer rights under such agreements.  This may mean filing an injunction, seeking damages for a breach, or negotiating an alternative resolution, but in any event, we offer employers timely recourse to secure their vital confidential information and business assets.

Our attorneys can also counsel employers on proactive risk management strategies to safeguard trade secrets and protect their rights. This may include advice on steps to pursue with new hires or when employees who have signed restrictive covenants leave the company.

Our attorneys can assist employees in negotiating these agreements, navigating their restrictions, and defending claims brought by employers.
