Employment Law

Scott Beall represents executives, managers, employees and businesses nationally and locally in employment disputes involving drafting and litigating non-competition clauses, trade secret protection, restrictive covenants, employer defamation, U-5 defamation, U-5 expungement and retaliation disputes.  While Tennessee courts have enforced non-compete contracts, enforceability is a function of reasonableness and applicability.  Non-competes that impose an undue burden on employees in earning a living or over-reach their geographical boundaries are typically not reasonable and therefore not enforceable.  If you are a party to an employment contract that contains a non-compete clause or a restrictive covenant, contact Scott Beall at (901) 681-0500 to discuss your options and legal rights.  

Scott Beall also handles U-5 expungement and defamation actions on behalf of all securities industry professionals, including pursuing money recoveries for defamatory or otherwise factually incorrect U-5 notations.
If you are changing jobs, brokerage firms or careers (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), knowing your employment rights BEFORE severing your employment relationship with an employer or employee is critical to avoiding costly litigation.
