Frequently Asked Questions
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for an illegal reason — such as discrimination based on a protected characteristic, retaliation for whistleblowing or exercising a legal right, or in violation of an employment contract. New Jersey is an at-will employment state, but there are significant exceptions that protect employees.
Employers should respond promptly and strategically to agency charges. An attorney should review the charge, gather relevant documents, interview witnesses, and prepare a position statement that presents the employer's facts and defenses effectively. Early attention to these charges is critical.
New Jersey courts enforce non-compete agreements that are reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area, and that protect a legitimate business interest. Overbroad agreements are often narrowed or invalidated by courts. We evaluate enforceability and advise on the best strategy for both employers and employees.
