FAQ

In Minnesota, the new law prohibits enforcement of non-competes entered into after July 1, 2023, but leaves existing agreements in place for the nearly 300,000 Minnesotans we estimate had a non-compete before the law passed.

Make sure to include the confidential information you need to protect under the agreement, including business secrets, financial information, and customer data. The agreement should also specify the parties involved, including the disclosing and the receiving parties.

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are agreements in contract law where parties agree that certain information will remain confidential. As such, an NDA binds a person who has signed it and prevents them from discussing any information included in the contract with anyone not authorized by the NDA.

Noncompetes banned: Noncompete and restrictive-franchise provisions in nearly all employee agreements are banned. (both already in effect). The 2024 legislative session went further and banned restrictive employment covenants in service contracts.

MINN. STAT. § 181.988 takes effect July 1, 2023 and essentially bans new employee non-competes and the use of foreign (i.e., non-Minnesota) choice of law and forum selection clauses in any agreements between employers and employees or independent contractors.

Most NDAs will have the specific penalties for violation laid out in their terms, which lets you know up-front what will happen should you break it. And, just as with any other breach of contract, it is possible that your employer will sue you in order to recoup the damages that your breach caused.

To create a Non-Disclosure Agreement, include the following information: The parties' names and contact information. The length of the non-disclosure period. The scope and definition of the confidential information. The obligations of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. The ownership and return information.

Typically, a legal professional writing the NDA will complete these steps: Step 1 - Describe the scope. Which information is considered confidential? ... Step 2 - Detail party obligations. Step 3 - Note potential exclusions. Step 4 - Set the term. Step 5 - Spell out consequences.

A confidentiality agreement should include the names and addresses of the parties to the contract. Consider also including: Reason for the agreement: Explain why you're sharing this information. The information disclosed: Be specific about the subject matter and what exactly is included in the agreement.
