non-solicitation clauses

A non-solicitation clause is a contractual agreement where one party agrees not to contact or try to hire away the other party’s employees, clients, or customers for a certain period after their relationship ends. It helps protect a business’s workforce and customer relationships from being poached by former employees or partners. Typically, such clauses specify the duration and scope of restrictions, aiming to balance business interests with individual rights. They are common in employment and partnership agreements to prevent unfair competition and preserve business stability.
