What are Restrictive Covenants?
Restrictive covenants, often included in employment contracts or business agreements, are legal provisions aimed at protecting certain business interests by restricting an individual’s actions or behaviors following the termination of a business relationship. Common types of restrictive covenants include:
- Non-Compete Agreements: These agreements prohibit individuals from engaging in competitive activities or working for competitors for a specified period of time and within a defined geographic area.
- Non-Solicitation Agreements: Non-solicitation agreements restrict individuals from soliciting clients, customers, or employees of their former employer or business partner.
- Confidentiality Agreements: Confidentiality agreements, also known as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), prevent individuals from disclosing confidential information obtained during the course of their employment or business dealings.
