In the complex realm of employment regulations in the United States, restrictive covenants, especially non-compete agreements, have come under increased legal scrutiny. Their intended protection for employers is overshadowed by practical challenges and doubts about their enforceability across different states.

Examining the risks

The enforceability of non-compete agreements varies significantly, impacted by factors like industry norms and an employee's role. A prevalent trend emerges where US courts not only scrutinize but outright prohibit the inclusion of non-compete agreements in employment contracts, deeming them illegal and unenforceable.

These prohibitions are rooted in challenges demonstrating legitimate proprietary interests and ensuring that the sought protection aligns with US public policy. If challenged and deemed unenforceable, the consequences can ripple through workforce stability, strain client relationships, and compromise the safeguarding of trade secrets.
