James DeLine obtained a 16-month injunction from a Michigan federal court on behalf of a regional employer who sought to enforce post-employment noncompete and non-solicit covenants in an employment agreement with a former employee.
In a motion for preliminary injunction filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the employer asserted that the restrictive covenants advanced a legitimate business interest and were therefore enforceable. The employee initially argued that the covenants were unreasonable as applied. Mr. DeLine also recovered substantial attorneys’ fees from the former employee.
