FAQ
Non-compete agreements can be enforced in Arizona as long as they meet the proper requirements. For a non-compete agreement to be valid in Arizona, it must align with the following criteria: It must be reasonably limited in time. It must have a reasonable geographic scope.
Typically, the only way to fight a non-compete agreement is to go to court. If you are an employee (or former employee) who signed such an agreement, this means you must violate the agreement and wait to be sued. It may be that your former employer has never sued another employee to enforce the non-compete agreement.
Courts also tend to frown upon non-compete agreements that don't allow an employee to leave the region or state and continue to work, A non-compete agreement is unenforceable, if the geographic scope of the restriction is far too broad.
Some states (California and a few others) have made non-competes void by statute, but even in states that have not passed anti-non-compete laws, courts have been trending toward avoiding enforcement of these provisions (in favor of the employee) for years.
If the restriction on the employee is for an unusually long period of time, there's going to be a problem. One to two years is typically reasonable, while three to five years is unlikely to be upheld by a court.
Several factors can void or limit the enforceability of a non-compete agreement, including overly broad restrictions, unreasonable time frames or geographical limits, lack of consideration (such as compensation or job opportunities provided in exchange for the agreement), and violation of public policy.
The following are the most common ways to get out of a non-compete agreement: Determine that the terms of the contract do not in fact prevent you from a desired course of action. Recognize when a non-compete contradicts the law. Negotiate a release agreement with the involved parties. Ignore the agreement.
Noncompete agreements in Arizona are perfectly legal and will be enforced when they meet certain conditions. Arizona courts will uphold reasonable noncompete agreements that don't restrict employees for too long or from too far away.
On April 23, 2024, the FTC issued a ruling that bans non-compete provisions in the employment setting; it will take effect on September 4, 2024 provided no legal challenges to the ruling succeed.
