Non-Solicitation Clause
A Standard Clause limiting an employee's solicitation of employees and customers during the term of the employee's employment and for a specified period of time after the employment relationship ends. It may be used as a stand-alone provision or incorporated into a written agreement with current or departing employees. This Standard Clause is drafted in favor of the employer. It is jurisdiction neutral and includes integrated notes with important explanations and drafting tips.
