Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

A restrictive-covenant dispute often raises factual questions about employment, competitive business activity, or relationships. The investigator’s role is to document relevant conduct for counsel.

A focused approach

The legal team should identify the activity and time period that matter. Public business research, appropriate interviews, and lawful surveillance may help establish a factual timeline. An observation alone does not decide whether an agreement was breached.

Points to address

  • Ask counsel to define the factual scope
  • Document sources and dates
  • Avoid conclusions about enforceability

What the findings mean

The useful deliverable is an organized record of activity, affiliations, and limitations. Counsel evaluates the agreement and the legal significance of the findings.
