Subcontracting Agreement
A Subcontracting Agreement defines obligations between a primary contractor and subcontractor for project execution. This playbook examines flow-down provisions, performance guarantees, and dispute management.
Restrictive Covenants
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the restrictive covenants are tailored to protect legitimate business interests without overreaching. Consider the specific roles and access to sensitive information when drafting these clauses.
Negotiate for reasonable time and geographic limitations to ensure post-employment opportunities are not unduly restricted. Seek clarity on what constitutes competition.
Essential elements
1
Non-Compete Clause
Restricts competitive activities post-employment.
2
Non-Solicitation Clause
Prevents solicitation of clients or employees.
3
Non-Poaching Clause
Restricts recruitment of company's staff.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the geographic scope or time period is too broad.
EDIT
Reject if the clause is unenforceable under local laws.
ADD
Add if missing to protect against competitive harm.
PRO TIP
Always include a severability clause to ensure enforceability of remaining provisions.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Preferred Non-Compete Clause
"The Employee agrees that during the term of their employment and for a period of [insert time period] following the termination of their employment for any reason, they will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, own, manage, operate, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business that competes with the Company within [insert geographic area]."
NEUTRAL
Reasonable Non-Compete Clause
"The Employee agrees not to engage in competitive activities within a reasonable geographic area for a limited time post-employment."
UNFAVORABLE
Overbroad Non-Compete Clause
"The Employee agrees not to work in any capacity for any competitor worldwide for five years post-employment."
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, more stringent covenants may be justified to protect sensitive information and client relationships.
Senior Executives
For senior executives, broader restrictions may be necessary due to their access to strategic information and influence.
Entry-Level Positions
For entry-level positions, restrictions should be minimal to avoid unnecessary limitations on career growth.
