Non-Solicit or Non-Starter? When Employment Contracts Go Too Far

⭐ Special guest litigator Charles Garabedian of Mark Migdal & Hayden

Welcome back to the Lawsomesauce Podcast! In this episode of Lawsome Sauce, PJ and Harper explore Sunbelt Rentals v. Cox, a case where a non-solicitation clause aimed at protecting a company’s workforce backfired in court. When a former employee allegedly tried to recruit his old colleagues, Sunbelt Rentals sued—but their contract was so broad, covering thousands of employees across multiple states, that the court threw the case out.

Special guest Charles Garabedian joins to explain why non-solicitation agreements must be narrowly written, how Florida courts view restrictive covenants, and what businesses (and employees) need to know before relying on these clauses to protect talent.
