  • Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) October 05, 2010 - "Don't Get Burned By Noncompetes" presented readers with descriptions of common risk factors associated with non-compete agreements when employees leave an agency to start their own competing firm.

    The article written by MSN writer Toddie Gunter addressed a wide variety of issues involving noncompetition agreements, including strategies new owners can employ to avoid the legal issues tied to them.

    Chapman's comments:

    "I could talk to them, but I couldn't solicit business," says Chapman. "I wanted to plant a seed in their heads and to network with them, because I valued their opinion." The effort paid off. After the year was up, he got a large account because he stayed in touch.

    "I was very careful not to say I was looking to take their business," he says. Chapman now has a noncompete with his own employees that states: "You can't pitch any of our business, take accounts, or use our methodologies."
