Heather B.
Delivering proactive and strategic guidance to health and fitness professionals and entities as they scale.
"Heather reviewed a six-product SaaS family that shares one set of terms: five legal questions plus a full drafting scope for a new penetration-testing product, all for a flat fee. The memo was thorough and practical, with insertable language for every question, and the Probe drafting covered everything we asked for. Her revision round caught a real conflict between two remedy clauses that we would have missed. She was clear about the limits of her engagement up front and held to the scope she quoted. The language is now live across five products. Recommended for SaaS terms work."

Employment
Nondisclosure Agreement
New York
Can you explain the enforceability of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed between two parties, specifically in the context of protecting trade secrets?
I recently started a new job at a technology company where I was required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect the company's trade secrets and confidential information. However, I have concerns about the enforceability of this agreement and the potential consequences if I were to accidentally disclose any information. I want to understand the legal implications and limitations of the NDA, including any loopholes or circumstances in which the agreement may not hold up in court.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and New York law, trade secrets are protected if the company has taken reasonable steps to keep the information confidential. Information that is publicly available or widely known cannot be protected by an NDA. If the NDA is too broad in scope, fails to specify what constitutes confidential information, or restricts lawful activities, courts may void or modify it. Carefully review the NDA to identify what is considered confidential and the obligations imposed on you. Or have an attorney review it for you who can provide a consultation on accidental disclosure, negligent disclosure, and intentional disclosure of trade secrets.
Employment
Severance Agreement
New York
Updating a severance agreement?
I recently received a severance agreement from my employer and I am unsure if the terms are appropriate for my situation. I was laid off due to restructuring and I am looking to make sure that I am receiving the best possible terms from the agreement. I'm not sure if the agreement should be updated or if it is fair as it is currently written.
Erdal T.
I would have to see the severance to see if the terms are fair.
Employment
Exclusivity Agreement
Massachusetts
Can an exclusivity agreement prevent me from working for a competitor after my employment ends?
I recently started a new job where I signed an exclusivity agreement that prohibits me from working for a competitor for a certain period of time after my employment ends. However, I am considering leaving this job and joining a competitor due to better career prospects. I am concerned about the legal implications of breaking this exclusivity agreement and whether it would be enforceable in preventing me from working for a competitor.
Laura H.
Massachusetts has very specific requirements that must be met before a non-compete agreement will be enforceable. It must be reasonable, there must be adequate consideration (usually payment), and the employer must have a legitimate interest in stopping the employee from working. The best way to determine whether your specific agreement may be enforced is to have an attorney review it.
Employment
Noncompete Agreement
New York
Noncompete agreement and industry restrictions?
I recently signed a Noncompete Agreement with my current employer. I am looking to explore other opportunities in my industry and want to know what restrictions my noncompete agreement might have on me. I am interested in understanding the limitations of the agreement and if there are any potential implications of taking a job in the same industry.
Danielle G.
In order to ascertain the limitations and implications, you would need to review the specific language of the agreement. If the non-compete is very broad, it's possible it would not be enforceable. In New York, for a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must be for a reasonable period of time and limited geographic scope. It also must protect the employer's legitimate interest. For example, the restrictions must protect confidential information or specialized skills you gained while on the job, or some other legitimate interest. If the agreement goes beyond those limitations, a court could find the non-complete to be unreasonable and unenforceable, in whole or in part. As to what restrictions your specific non-compete imposes (and the reasonableness of those restrictions), you would need to look at the specific language in the agreement. If you are unsure about the limitations, you should seek advice of counsel to help decipher the extent it would apply to your industry in general, and the likelihood it would be enforceable in court.
Employment
Employment Offer
Florida
Does the employment offer mention promotions?
I was recently offered a job and I am interested in understanding what the terms of the agreement are regarding promotions. I have been in the same job for several years and I am looking for something with more potential for advancement. Although the job offer does not explicitly mention promotions, I am hoping to get more information about the company's policy regarding career growth.
Gill D.
Employment offers can contain information about promotions, but they typically do not. Jobs and employers and situations change over time and employers don't want to get stuck agreeing to a promotion before working with you.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
