FAQ
The 90-day non-compete clause restricts former employees from engaging in similar business activities for 90 days after leaving their job. This period is often viewed as a reasonable duration to protect company interests while allowing individuals to pursue employment. However, it's important to ensure the clause aligns with Colorado's legal standards for enforceability. To understand more about effective structures, consult Colorado Sample Noncompete and Confidentiality Clauses.
While for many years Colorado has prohibited the use of non-competes (with certain exceptions), it recently became the first state to criminalize the use of non-competes exceeding the permissible scope of state law. A new Colorado law raises the stakes for employers using restrictive covenants.
Confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements are contracts in which the employee promises not to disclose certain proprietary information, such as trade secrets. Non-compete agreements are contracts in which the employee agrees not to unfairly compete against his/her (former) employer.
You Can Void a Non-Compete by Proving Its Terms Go Too Far or Last Too Long. Whether a non-compete is unenforceable because it covers too large of a geographical area or it lasts too long can depend on many factors. Enforceability can depend on your industry, skills, location, etc.
Even if an exception applies, Colorado courts require non-compete agreements to be reasonable in temporal and geographic scope to be enforceable.
A traditional non-compete stops an employee from working for a competitor in a certain geographical area for a certain amount of time after leaving the company. A non-solicitation agreement prevents an employee from poaching customers, contracts or other employees from the company that first hired them.
Colorado has enlisted the help of the criminal justice system to reinforce its strong public policy against restrictive covenants. Beginning on March 1, 2022, violations of Colorado's restrictive covenants statute, C.R.S. § 8-2-113, may subject employers to criminal liability.
Non-competition clause examples include: Example 1: Preventing former employees from using trade secrets. Example 2: Stopping contractors from competing with you. Example 3: Former partners limiting the geographical reach.
A covenant not to compete, also called a "nompete agreement" or "non compete clause," is an agreement where one party promises not to compete with the other party in a specified area for a certain period of time. A covenant not to compete can be found in an employment contract or a sale of business contract.
An NDA is a contract specifically dealing with how parties will handle the others' confidential information. A confidentiality clause is a section in a larger agreement essentially covering the same things as an NDA, only usually with less detail than in an NDA.
