Non-solicitation agreements are often paired with employment contracts, offer letters, or separation agreements for maximum clarity.
A non-solicitation agreement is a narrower alternative to a full non-compete: it prevents a former employee or contractor from actively recruiting the company's customers or staff, without broadly restricting where they can work. Non-solicitation clauses are widely used in employment agreements, offer letters, and separation agreements because they offer meaningful protection while being easier to enforce than broad non-competes. A well-drafted agreement defines covered customers (typically those the restricted party personally interacted with), covered employees, the restricted period duration, and specific exceptions for general job advertising or unsolicited inquiries. Courts in most jurisdictions enforce properly scoped non-solicitation agreements when they are supported by adequate consideration and limited to genuine business protection needs.
