A non-compete agreement is executed between an employer and an employee. In this agreement, the employee agrees that he will not enter into competition with the employer after or during his employment. This contract prevents employees from entering into markets or competing with the employer.

DURATION

A non-compete agreement is in effect for a certain period after the term of employment. It is essential to plan the dates well in advance. Employers can set a non-compete agreement within a realistic timeline and cannot prevent former employees from achieving success in that particular field.

VALIDITY

There are challenges whether non-compete agreements are legally binding. The legal validity of non-compete agreement varies from case to case and depends on how restrictive the terms and conditions are in the agreement.
