Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important that the restrictions be reasonable?Since courts take a strict view of restraint of trade clauses, which include non-solicitation and non-compete clauses, if your restriction is broader or longer than the court feels is reasonable, a judge may strike the clause from the contract, which could leave you with no restriction at all. Therefore, you should ensure that your restriction is reasonable.

The restriction is more likely to be considered reasonable if it is aimed at protecting a legitimate proprietary interest of the company; is reasonable with regards to the interests of all the parties – the company, the employee, and the public; it has been extensively negotiated; and the employee has been well compensated for accepting the restriction clause.
What is the difference between a non-solicitation clause and a non-compete clause?Both clauses are examples of restraint of trade clauses; however, a non-solicitation clause seeks to prevent former employees from recruiting clients or employees from their company, while a non-compete clause aims to prevent former employees from competing with their former employer, generally by restricting them from using the same employment skills or engaging in similar businesses or geographical areas for a certain period of time.
