Employment Contracts • Nonsolicitation Provision • Failure of Consideration
Metalico Pittsburgh Inc. v. Newman, PICS Case No. 17- 0673 (Pa. Super. April 19, 2017) Solano, J. (20 pages).
Trial court erred in finding that nonsolicitation provisions in employees’ employment contracts were not applicable due to a failure of consideration because the language of the covenants made them apply both throughout the employment and after the agreements’ expiration and employees agreed to the covenants in return for consideration which was paid. Reversed.
