Non-Compete Non-Solicitation Agreement

A Non-Compete & Non-Solicitation Agreement restricts post-employment competition and solicitation of clients or employees. This playbook focuses on enforceability standards, scope limitations, and remedies for breach.

Confidentiality & IP Ownership

Why This Matters: Strong confidentiality and IP clauses safeguard proprietary assets and reduce the risk of misappropriation.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that all intellectual property created during the contract is assigned to the company. Include specific language that prevents the contractor from using confidential information beyond the scope of the agreement.

If you're the Contractor:

Negotiate for clear definitions of confidential information and intellectual property. Seek reasonable limitations on the use of confidential information to protect your interests.

Essential elements

1

Confidentiality Obligations

2

3

Action framework

ACCEPT

Alternative scenarios & positions
