This Non-Compete Agreement sets out post-relationship restrictive covenants designed to protect a business’s legitimate interests in England and Wales. It covers non-competition, non-solicitation and non-dealing, with reasonableness and severability clauses. Whether restrictions are enforceable depends on how far they are reasonable for the role and the business interest, and you need to complete the duration and area to suit.
Who is this template for?
Used by employers who want to restrain an employee or former employee from competing, poaching clients or staff, or misusing confidential information for a limited period after employment ends. It is written for employment, not for the sale of a business or for consultants.
What does the template include?
The agreement is organised into clearly numbered sections:
- Parties — the parties to the restrictions.
- Background and Purpose — the interests being protected.
- Consideration — a payment field and wording tying the restrictions to that payment or to the employment contract.
- Duration of Restrictions — tick-box choice of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, or your own period.
- Non-Competition — restriction on competing.
- Non-Solicitation of Clients — restriction on approaching clients.
- Non-Solicitation of Employees — restriction on poaching staff.
- Non-Dealing — restriction on dealing with clients.
- Confidential Information — protection of information.
- Reasonableness and Severability — each restriction stands alone if another is struck out.
- Injunctive Relief — court remedies for breach.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction — England & Wales.
- Entire Agreement — the whole agreement.
- Signatures — execution by the parties.
