Led by Rob McNeely and Cameron Carstens, our Firm successfully obtained a temporary injunction in September 2024 enforcing an employment non-compete agreement on behalf of Florida Technical College in Orlando.
At issue was a nine-month, 50-mile non-compete provision signed, as a condition of employment, by a former senior level administrator at the College. Unfortunately, when that employee left the College, she accepted employment at a competing educational institution, in violation of the non-compete.
After a nearly two-hour hearing before a Circuit Court Judge in the Business Court division of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Florida, the non-compete provision was upheld, and a temporary injunction was entered. The former employee was required to leave her competing employment immediately and to follow the requirements of the non-compete for the full nine months. A copy of the Order can be found here: Order Granting Motion for Temporary Injunction.
