Wyckoff, New Jersey Non-Compete Agreement Lawyers

Many companies require employees to a sign non-compete agreements and other similar restrictive covenants before hiring them or as a condition to keeping their jobs. These agreements require you to sign away or limit your right to work for a competing company after you leave your current job. They can be enforceable in New Jersey and New York as long as they are not unreasonable. However, they also can severely restrict your ability to find your next job, not to mention limiting your ability to negotiate a raise or promotion with your current employer.

We also can explain your legal rights and obligations under a non-compete agreement that you already have signed. Likewise, we can represent you if you are being threatened with a lawsuit claiming you violated your non-compete agreement, or if you already have been sued for supposedly violating a restrictive covenant with your former company.

The Township of Wyckoff is located in Bergen County, New Jersey. In 1771, it was part of what was then known as Franklin Township. However, in 1926 the residents voted to change the town’s name to Wyckoff. The name Wycokoff is believed to come from one of two Lenape Indian words: “wickoff,” which means “high ground,” or “wickok,” which means water.

As of the 2010 census, Wyckoff had nearly 17,000 residents. Famous residents of Wyckoff have included former New York Yankee shortstop and manager Bucky Dent, musicians the Jonas Brothers and actress Tara Reid.
