Injunctive Relief
Injunctive relief is a court order forcing you to stop violating a covenant, and contracts often pre-authorize the employer to seek it.
Injunctive relief is a court order that makes you stop doing something, such as practicing in violation of a non-compete, rather than just paying damages after the fact. Contracts frequently include language where you agree in advance that a breach would cause irreparable harm and that the employer may seek an injunction. That agreed-harm language makes an injunction easier for the employer to obtain.
Notice any clause where you concede that a breach causes irreparable harm or waive your right to contest an injunction. That language is the employer building the case to shut you down quickly, and it is worth pushing back on.
