Covenants not to compete are often not enforeceable. This depends on the nature of your position, the responsibility you have,and the geographical area and time limit in the Agreement. My partner James DeFelice is skilled at intepreting these documents. If you wish him to review the Covenant to determine how enforceable it is, you can get our contact information at our website: www.sarnoanddefelice.com
