Employment Contracts and Dispute Resolution:  Legal Services

An employment agreement or contract is a bilateral agreement for a specified duration, involving the exchange of services and remuneration between an employer and an employee. The employer-employee relationship is shaped by various statutes and is subject to both national and state regulations. With increasing competition among businesses, concerns over the potential misuse of confidential and proprietary information by employees—particularly during and after their employment—have become a critical issue. To mitigate these concerns, employment contracts are designed to protect employers’ interests.

Despite numerous statutes, key aspects such as non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and non-compete clauses remain areas of legal ambiguity, often leading to disputes between employers and employees. These clauses are not always specifically addressed by legislation and can be subject to interpretation, resulting in legal conflicts. Disputes also arise in white-collar employment matters, extending beyond traditional labor and management issues.

Disputes related to employment contracts typically occur at the following stages:

• Pre-Hire Stage
• During Employment
• Termination Stage
• Post-Termination
