What is a non-solicitation agreement and what does it prevent?
A non-solicitation agreement restricts a departing employee from poaching a company's clients or coworkers for a set period. It protects business relationships and staff stability by preventing former workers from luring away customers or employees they worked with, without barring them from working in the industry entirely.
What is the difference between non-solicitation and non-compete agreements?
A non-solicitation agreement only stops a former employee from soliciting clients or coworkers, while a non-compete restricts them from working for competitors or starting a rival business. Non-solicitation is narrower and often more enforceable because it limits specific conduct rather than a person's ability to earn a living.
What should a non-solicitation agreement specify to be enforceable?
It should clearly define who is protected, such as customers and employees, the restricted activities, the time period, and any geographic scope. Reasonable, specific terms tied to a legitimate business interest are more likely to hold up. Overly broad restrictions risk being unenforceable in many jurisdictions.
