Non-compete agreement

template

Covers the scope, duration, and geographic area of a restriction on competing. Enforceability varies significantly by jurisdiction, and some jurisdictions restrict or ban these entirely.

Good fit for

  • +Protecting a business's client relationships or trade secrets after an employee or business seller departs

Not ideal for

  • Jurisdictions that restrict or largely ban employee non-competes (several US states do) — verify enforceability before relying on this
  • Overly broad restrictions — narrower in time, geography, and scope is generally more enforceable
