There is no question that the legal technology industry is getting more competitive. As more middle-market service providers get absorbed by larger, cash-rich and venture-capital-infused players, many seasoned legal technology sales professionals will exit from the space.
This has caused vendors to fight more aggressively than in years past for top business development professionals and revenue-generating consultants—which also means more strictly enforcing non-compete agreements. Some service providers are even contesting project manager hires because of non-compete issues. In this fierce climate of non-compete enforcement, coupled with the general lack of understanding of or appreciation for the dreaded non-compete, legal technology professionals should examine their current and future employment obligations and legal constraints.
Here is a non-compete checklist if you are considering a change of employment.
