Argue that the non-compete is overly restrictive or not enforceable. Negotiate or prove no legitimate business interests exist to uphold the agreement.
Covenants not to compete are governed in California by Business and Professions Code Section 16600 et seq. Section 16600 says that, except as otherwise provided, every contract that restrains a person from engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business is void to the extent of the restriction.
A contract is defined as an enforceable agreement between two parties. An employment contract is an enforceable agreement between two parties that contains whatever terms and conditions of employment the parties agree upon and, when accepted, becomes controlling upon the employment relationship.
AB 1076 Notice Requirement AB 1076 requires employers to send a notice to employees informing them that any noncompete agreements or noncompete provisions in their employment contract are void in California.

The enforceability of non-compete clauses in India is primarily governed by Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. This section states: “Every agreement by which anyone is restrained from exercising a lawful profession, trade or business of any kind, is to that extent void.”
Noncompetes in the employment law context are expressly unlawful. Employers must notify California employees (and former employees) hired after January 1, 2022, that their noncompetes are void.
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.
Non-compete agreements may face antitrust scrutiny, even in the absence of the FTC's Rule. The new Guidelines suggest that the antitrust enforcers may prosecute non-compete agreements that harm competition as antitrust violations, even if the Non-Compete Rule does not survive its pending legal challenges.
