Non-Solicitation Agreements are contracts that limit an employee from solicitating employees and customers during the employees employment and for a period of time after the employment relationship ends.

In Minnesota, non-solicitation agreements are considered restrictive covenants and a restraint on trade and are cautiously considered, and carefully scrutinized, but are enforceable. Minnesota courts will uphold non-solicitation agreements that are reasonable and protect a legitimate business interest of the employer such as customer goodwill. It may be used as a stand-alone provision or incorporated into an Employment Agreement.

Before signing or drafting a non-solicitation agreement, contact an experienced non-solicitation contract attorney to ensure your best interests are met. Contact the law office of John Holden today.
