Non-solicitation Agreement

A non-solicitation agreement is a legal contract between two parties, usually an employer and an employee, in which the employee agrees not to solicit the company’s clients or customers for a certain period of time after leaving the company. The purpose of the agreement is to protect the company’s confidential information and trade secrets from being used by the departing employee to compete with the company. Non-solicitation agreements are often used in industries where client relationships are critical to the company’s success, such as sales, marketing, and consulting.
