Non-Competes & Trade Secrets in the Health Care Industry

At Alonso & Wirth, we provide strategic legal counsel to health care professionals, medical practices, hospitals, and health care organizations navigating the complex and evolving landscape of non-compete agreements and trade secret protections. With the health care industry facing increasing scrutiny from regulators and a fast-changing employment environment, our team is committed to protecting your interests, ensuring compliance, and minimizing risk.

Non-Compete Agreements

Health care employers often rely on non-compete clauses to safeguard their investment in talent and maintain continuity of care. However, these agreements must be narrowly tailored to be enforceable, especially under recent federal and state policy shifts. Whether you’re drafting, enforcing, or challenging a non-compete, we provide sound guidance to ensure your agreement aligns with legal requirements and protects your business or professional rights.

Trade Secrets Protection

Medical practices and health care companies possess sensitive proprietary information, from patient lists and pricing models to operational protocols and proprietary technologies. We help clients develop internal policies, confidentiality agreements, and litigation strategies to prevent misappropriation and respond swiftly to breaches.

Our Services Include:

  • Drafting and reviewing non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Advising on compliance with FTC and state-level restrictions
  • Representing clients in disputes involving breach of restrictive covenants
  • Counseling on trade secret identification, management, and protection
  • Litigating trade secret misappropriation cases under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and state law
