This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. addresses Evans v. Generic Solution Engineering, LLC, in which a Florida appellate court reversed an order granting a temporary injunction against a former independent contractor who was subject to a non-compete agreement. The court emphasized that an employer must have a sufficient legitimate business interest to justify enforcing a non-compete. The court found that the independent contractor's performance of services for the employer's former clients should not be enjoined because an employer's relationships with former clients do not constitute legitimate business interests. The publication notes that other Florida courts have previously drawn distinctions between employers' relationships with current clients as opposed to former clients.
