FAQ
Q: Are non-compete agreements enforceable in Georgia even if signed after employment commences and/or without any additional consideration? A: Yes, continued employment is generally considered sufficient consideration for a non-compete in Georgia.
Federal Ruling Overview As a result, the rule, which was set to take effect on September 4, 2024, is void, and existing non-compete agreements remain enforceable under federal law.
The California courts have consistently held that this law means what it says – that non-compete provisions are not enforceable. The only exceptions are where the provision is in a contract for the sale of a business or the sale or dissolution of a partnership or limited liability company.
The GRCA's blue-penciling provision allows Georgia courts some discretion to modify a restrictive covenant to make it reasonable (and enforceable), but, as previously discussed, while courts have discretion to “blue pencil” (narrow/sever) restrictive covenants to bring them into compliance with Georgia law, a court may ...
In Georgia, a non-compete agreement may be declared unenforceable or invalid for a number of reasons, including: An unreasonable time period (under the newest version of Georgia's non-compete law, restraints lasting more than 2 years are presumed unreasonable) An unreasonable restriction on geographic territory.
Georgia common law was generally hostile to restrictive covenants but was more permissive of anti-raiding restrictions such as employee non-solicitation provisions. Georgia's passage of the Restrictive Covenants Act (RCA) in 2011 made enforcement of valid restrictive covenants easier than it had been before.
One of the most effective ways to get out of a non-compete agreement is to argue that it's unenforceable. Georgia courts will evaluate the terms of the agreement under the state's employment law, which requires that the restrictions be reasonable. If the agreement fails to meet the legal requirements, it may be voided.
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.
Both a non-compete agreement, or NCA, and a non-solicitation agreement, or NSA, potentially limit your employment opportunities in the future if your current position ends for any reason. A NSA is much narrower, however, in the conduct or actions prohibited.
Take a non-competitive job or role outside your current employer's specialty. Prove your employer breached the contract to invalidate the non-compete clause. Argue that the non-compete is overly restrictive or not enforceable. Negotiate or prove no legitimate business interests exist to uphold the agreement.
