Non-solicitation agreement

Templates › Confidentiality & Legal

A non-solicitation agreement prevents one party from poaching the other's employees or clients for a set period — a narrower, generally more enforceable restriction than a non-compete.

When to use it

Use this around a business sale, a departing employee or contractor relationship, or any situation where you want to protect your team and client relationships without restricting someone's ability to work in the industry generally — non-solicits are the more commonly enforceable middle ground.

What's typically included

• Background on the underlying relationship
• Non-solicitation of employees
• Non-solicitation of clients
