WTO obtains preliminary injunction in noncompete case

On December 30, 2011, the Wheeler Trigg O'Donnell trial team of Ray Martin and Tammy Westerberg obtained a preliminary injunction enforcing its client's non-competition agreement with a former employee. The former employee had resigned and almost immediately formed a competing business in breach of his contractual obligations.  After a two-day hearing, a judge in Jefferson County enjoined the defendant from competing within a 100-mile radius of Denver and Avon, Colorado and awarded attorney's fees to WTO's client.
