Recruitment Litigation in Albuquerque

Albuquerque Recruitment Litigation Attorneys

Recruitment litigation in Albuquerque is a unique legal niche in which our firm represents professionals who are considering leaving a current position or who have already left that position, and where the departing employee has a non-compete agreement, a non-solicitation agreement, or some combination of these or other similarly restrictive agreements. 

The common thread with respect to departing professionals is that the agreements in place, as well as case law or statutory law, often govern what the departing professionals can or cannot do as they prepare to leave a position and after they do leave. While the agreements themselves may be fairly straightforward, the litigation that sometimes ensues in the wake of a departure can take any number of unique twists and turns. 

This area of the law is quickly changing, and the answer for a professional curious about what that professional can or cannot do is often counterintuitive. Therefore, the need for experienced legal counsel is imperative. Marrs Griebel Law offers in-depth legal insight and practical strategies to help clients avoid costly disputes and protect their professional futures. In many cases, avoiding litigation altogether can save hundreds of thousands in legal fees and potential damages, sometimes more.

Legal Protection Across Diverse Industries

With a seasoned employment law attorney in Albuquerque, our firm often represents professionals in the securities industry, but the need for sound legal advice extends to countless other professionals. These areas include sales, engineering, accounting, or any position in which the professional has access to proprietary information, client lists, or intellectual property, or where these types of agreements are in place.

Even in the absence of an agreement, employers may have recourse against a departing employee who violates the law when it comes to the use of proprietary information. 

In short, it is always more cost-effective to receive legal counsel than to make a mistake and end up defending against a claim from an employer.
