When you bring an employee on board, you have the right to expect loyalty, but you don't always get it. Disgruntled workers or employees, seeing a better opportunity over the next hill, often leave on short notice, taking your business' valuable trade secrets.
More and more frequently, businesses throughout Texas recognize the need for employment agreements that will prevent or dissuade workers from using your proprietary trade secrets when they jump ship to your competition or start their own business.
