compete agreement, or noncompete clause, is a legal contract that typically prevents you from working for competitors or becoming one yourself.
On July 1, 2023, Minnesota will join California, North Dakota, and Oklahoma in the small (but growing) group of states that impose a full ban. Minnesota's law is the first total non-compete ban since Oklahoma banned them in 1890, more than 130 years ago!

In certain circumstances, it is possible to find non-compete contract loopholes that may void the contract. For example, if you can prove that you never signed the contract, or if you can prove the contract is against the public interest, you may be able to void the agreement.
