If the employee demonstrates to a court that a non-compete agreement is unreasonable, overly broad, or against public policy, the court may invalidate some of or the entire non-compete provision.
In Florida, non-compete agreements prevent employees from competing with their former employers within a certain geographic area and for a particular duration. In contrast, non-solicitation agreements prohibit employees from soliciting the former employer's clients, customers, or employees.
What Voids a Non-Compete Agreement? First, a non-compete agreement must identify at least one legitimate business interest that you seek to protect; it won't be enforceable if a court finds that there is no legitimate interest sought to be protected.
This means that non-compete agreements that directly restrict a Florida attorney's right to practice law are not enforceable in Florida. Most states have adopted a similar rule prohibiting agreements that restrict an attorney's right to practice law.
How to Get Out of a Non-Compete Agreement in Florida Seek legal advice from an attorney. Review the agreement carefully. Evaluate the legitimacy of employer interests. Assess the reasonableness of the agreement. Negotiate with the employer. Challenge the enforceability in court.
Sometimes, if an employee refuses to sign a non-compete agreement, employers will not go as far as firing the individual but can create a hostile work environment. If this occurs, the employee may have a different type of case that is included under employment law.
