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.

Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

Why This Matters: Well-crafted dispute resolution clauses shorten conflict resolution time and limit litigation risk and costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the dispute resolution process is efficient and cost-effective. Opt for arbitration to avoid lengthy court proceedings and select a governing law that aligns with company interests.

If you're the Contractor:

Negotiate for a neutral jurisdiction and governing law. Consider mediation as a first step to resolve disputes amicably before proceeding to arbitration.

Essential elements

1

Arbitration Clause

Defines arbitration process details.
2

Governing Law Clause

Specifies applicable legal jurisdiction.
3

Mediation Requirement

Outlines mediation process prerequisites.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the governing law is unfavorable or arbitration terms are unclear.

EDIT

Reject if the clause mandates litigation in an unfavorable jurisdiction.

ADD

Add mediation requirements if not present to encourage early dispute resolution.

PRO TIP

Always verify the compatibility of the governing law with your company's policy to avoid unforeseen legal challenges.

Alternative scenarios & positions

For high-value contracts, consider multi-tiered dispute resolution processes, including mediation and arbitration, to protect significant interests.
