Non-Solicitation Agreement Services in Minnesota
Non-solicitation agreements are often presented as standard or non-negotiable — but that is rarely the full picture. Employers frequently have more flexibility than they initially indicate, particularly for key employees, executives, management, professionals, and independent contractors whose skills and relationships give them meaningful negotiating leverage.
Holden Law Firm assists with:
- Drafting and reviewing non-solicitation agreements
- Advising on employee and client non-solicitation provisions
- Evaluating enforceability under Minnesota law
- Negotiating terms within employment and separation agreements
- Resolving disputes involving alleged violations of non-solicitation agreements
Clear, well-defined agreements help prevent misunderstandings and reduce the risk of costly legal disputes.
Practical Legal Guidance for Employees and Professionals
Whether you are starting a new position, negotiating a severance agreement, or working as an independent contractor, non-solicitation provisions warrant careful attention before you commit.
Minnesota courts apply a reasonableness standard to these agreements — meaning that what an employer presents as standard language may not be enforceable as written and may be negotiable.
Understanding what you are agreeing to — and what leverage you have — can protect your ability to serve customers, clients, collaborate with colleagues, and pursue opportunities long after a particular job or engagement ends.
Early legal intervention can help preserve business relationships and reduce the risk of costly legal action.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Solicitation Agreements
Non-solicitation agreements can have a significant impact on business relationships and future employment opportunities. Below are answers to common questions about how these agreements work and how legal guidance can help protect your interests.
What is a non-solicitation agreement?
A non-solicitation agreement is a contract provision that restricts an individual from soliciting a company’s clients, customers, or employees for a specified period of time after leaving the organization.
Are non-solicitation agreements enforceable in Minnesota?
In many cases, yes. While Minnesota has limited the use of non-compete agreements, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions may still be enforceable depending on how they are drafted and applied. Legal review is important to determine enforceability.
What is the difference between a non-compete and a non-solicitation agreement?
A non-compete restricts where or for whom someone can work, while a non-solicitation agreement focuses specifically on preventing the solicitation of clients, customers, or employees. Non-solicitation agreements are generally more narrowly tailored.
Can I negotiate a non-solicitation agreement?
Yes. Non-solicitation agreements can often be negotiated, especially before signing an employment or separation agreement. An attorney can help clarify terms, limit scope, and ensure the agreement is reasonable.
What happens if a non-solicitation agreement is violated?
A violation may result in legal action, including claims for damages or injunctive relief. An attorney can evaluate the situation, advise on defenses, and help resolve the matter through negotiation or litigation if necessary.
