FAQ
Can these templates include restrictions on both employees and clients?
Yes, many templates in this collection allow you to specify whether the agreement applies to employees, clients, vendors, or a combination. For example, you can draft a clause preventing a departing executive from soliciting both customers and former colleagues. Always review state laws, as enforcement varies by jurisdiction.
What’s the best way to set a reasonable time frame for non-solicitation?
A common range is 12 to 24 months, depending on the industry and role. For example, sales teams often need shorter restrictions (12 months) due to rapid client turnover, while relationships in consulting or law may justify 24 months. Courts often scrutinize overly long periods, so balance protection with reasonableness.
Do these templates address geographic restrictions for non-solicitation?
Several templates include fields for defining geographic scope, such as limiting poaching to a specific city, region, or even a radius around company offices. For example, a retail chain might restrict solicitation to the same metropolitan area where stores operate. Always pair geographic limits with clear, enforceable definitions.
