Episode Synopsis

There are three types of restrictive covenants: non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and non-disclosure agreements. Depending on who you ask, these covenants can be a tool to protect the business or perceived as a way to limit a physician’s ability to choose their employer.

No matter how they are perceived, if a restrictive covenant does not protect a legitimate business interest, it may be unenforceable. The law does not prohibit ordinary competition.
