FAQ
SCOPE, DURATION, AND GEOGRAPHY In Michigan, broad or excessively restrictive non-compete clauses can render an agreement unenforceable. Courts may either void the agreement or modify it to align with what's deemed “reasonable.”
Breach of Employment Contract Proving there was a breach of your employment contract is another way that you can defeat a non-compete agreement. If your employer did not fulfill the employment contract terms, they likely can't force you to stick to a non-compete agreement. This is known as a material breach.
A Michigan Standard Clause limiting an employee's solicitation of employees and customers during the term of the employee's employment and for a specified period after the employment relationship ends. It is intended for use by private employers.
In Michigan, non-solicitation agreements are generally enforceable, but they must be carefully crafted to withstand legal scrutiny. This requires striking a balance between protecting legitimate business interests and avoiding undue restrictions on an employee's ability to earn a living.
Showing that the agreement is not related to a legitimate business interest is the most effective way of getting out of a non-compete contract. The goal of any non-compete agreement is to protect trade secrets.
Under this law, in order to be enforceable, non-compete agreements must (1) be designed to protect an employer's reasonable competitive business interests; (2) have a reasonable duration; (3) have a reasonable geographic scope; and (4) prohibit competition only in a clearly defined line of business.
Non-compete clause, covenant not to compete Non-compete agreements are also known as restrictive covenants. The purpose of a non-compete agreement is to protect the employer's business interests by preventing the employee from going to work for a competitor or starting a competing business.
Globally, non-compete agreements vary significantly in terms of enforceability, scope, and legal framework. While they are a common practice in many countries, the extent to which they are recognized and enforced can differ.
Many Michigan businesses require their employees to sign non-compete agreements. Although many people assume these types of agreements are not enforceable, the fact is that non-compete agreements may be enforceable under Michigan so long as certain requirements are met.
