What is a non-compete agreement?

A non-compete agreement is a contract, generally between an employer and an employee in which the employee promises not to compete with the employer for a specified length of time after the termination of employment.  Non-compete agreements are used to prevent employees from using a business’s confidential information and to prevent competition from a former employee.  A Raleigh business law attorney can help you if you are interested in drafting a non-compete agreement.

What is a Lien?   

A lien is a legal claim or hold on some type of property, whether personal or real property, making it collateral against monies or services owed to another person or entity.  There are many different types of liens, the most common being a mechanic’s lien, also known as a construction lien.  This type of lien is put into place when the property owner owes money for materials or labor used in the improvement of the property.  This includes repairs, maintenance, new construction and landscaping. If your business needs more information about liens you should speak with a lawyer at our firm.
