FAQ
It is possible to defeat a non-compete agreement in Utah in some cases. One possible strategy for successfully fighting a non-compete agreement in the state would be to demonstrate that the non-compete agreement was drafted solely to stifle competition and not to protect business interests.
Non-Compete Agreements are generally not enforceable unless they're used to protect trade secrets or a purchaser of a business, recover education or training expenses from an employee of less than two years, or restrict executive and management personnel or professional staff to those personnel ( C.R.S.
Non-compete agreements typically restrict an employee from competing with an employer's business for a period of time in a specific geographical area. Utah courts require that non-compete restrictions be “reasonably limited in time and geographic area” in order to be valid and enforceable.
Non-Competitive Activity at New Employer: One of the most straightforward ways to overcome a noncompete is by ensuring that your new role with a different employer is in a non-competitive capacity. If you're not engaging in activities that directly compete with your former employer's business, you may be in the clear.
Yes! It's true that many self-employed individuals, especially those who work from home, never get a business license in Utah. But if your local government finds out that you're running an unlicensed business, you might be fined, or even be prevented from doing business until you obtain the license.
Although an early Utah case upheld a five-year non-compete provision, more recent experience shows that time limits under a year can often be enforced, restrictions up to two years are sometimes enforced, and restrictions beyond two years are rarely enforced.
Employment contracts or settlement agreements containing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) or non-disparagement clauses pertaining to sexual misconduct allegations are now void under Utah state law.
This law states that a non-compete agreement may be enforced if it is part of “a reasonable severance agreement mutually and freely agreed upon at or after the time of termination.” The non-compete agreement must also meet the common law requirements imposed by Utah courts in order to be enforceable.
