Non-Compete Agreement Spurs Fight Over Bank & Finance Employees

Posted on 09 March 2009

New York Supreme Court witnessed the filing of a law suit brought by Merrill Lynch - now merged with Bank of America, against Germany’s Deutsche Bank over stealing financial employees. The legal leg this case stands on is a violation of a non-compete agreement.

The Merrill Lynch financial employee in question failed to honor the time period stated in his non-compete agreement with the company when he left to accept employment with Deutsche Bank.

Many corporations include non-compete agreements with their employment agreements for just this reason. Within the current employment crisis, this legal document can be a deterrent as mergers, failings and changes of control are quite common in both large and small companies.

The non-compete agreements for many of the top companies and corporations making use of these legal documents can be found at the online legal document resource RealDealDocs.com website.
