Non-Compete Agreements

What is Non-Compete Agreements?

Non-compete agreements are contractual obligations that restrict employees from working for competitors or starting similar businesses after leaving their current employment. These agreements aim to protect a company's sensitive information, trade secrets, and customer relationships. Typically, they specify a limited time frame and geographical area within which the employee cannot engage in competing activities. While non-compete agreements can be beneficial for businesses, they must be carefully drafted to ensure fairness and enforceability. In Missouri, courts generally uphold these agreements if they are reasonable in scope and necessary to protect legitimate business interests. However, overly broad or restrictive non-compete clauses may be deemed unenforceable. If you're dealing with a non-compete agreement, whether as an employer or employee, it's crucial to seek professional legal guidance.

With our extensive experience in employment law across Missouri, we're committed to offering personalized solutions for your specific situation.
