What is a Non-Solicit?

 

Non-solicit agreements or non-interference agreements are legally binding documents. The agreement establishes restrictions on the individual or entity. It prevents them from soliciting a company’s customers, employees, or clients after their association with the company has ended. These agreements can be drafted as a stand-alone contract, or as part of a larger employment or partnership agreement.

 

These agreements are a great tool to handle a range of industries and business contacts. But they are often utilized more in sales and service-based businesses. In most cases, their goal is to prevent former employees, partners, or independent contractors from selling a company’s clients or customers. They can also prevent these individuals from stealing key suppliers or vendors.
