Analyze, draft, and assess non-compete agreement enforceability instantly
What You Can Do

Scores agreements on a risk matrix (low/medium/high) and explains specific vulnerabilities under applicable case law and statutes
Generates enforceable non-compete language tailored to your industry, role restrictions, duration, and geographic scope based on jurisdiction best practices
Cites relevant precedents and recent decisions that impact enforceability in your jurisdiction to ground recommendations in actual legal outcomes

Example Output
Enforceability Analysis: Texas Non-Compete (MEDIUM RISK)
-
✅ Strengths:
-
18-month duration aligns with Texas presumption of reasonableness
-
Geographic radius (50 miles) is narrowly tailored to Austin metro area
-
Customer restriction limited to accounts worked during employment
-
⚠️ Critical Issues:
- "Any business" language is overbroad—should specify restricted activities (e.g., "software development, SaaS, or managed IT services")
- Employee non-solicitation lacks temporal limit—vague and potentially unenforceable
- Missing severability clause—if one provision fails, entire agreement may be void
Recommended Revisions:
- Replace "any business" with specific competitive services
- Add sunset date to employee non-solicitation (e.g., "for 12 months post-separation")
- Insert severability clause enabling judicial blue pencil modification
Draft Non-Compete for New Hire (California-Compliant Alternative):
Given California Business & Professions Code §16600 voids most non-competes, substitute with:
Non-Solicitation: Employee agrees not to solicit customers with whom they worked during employment for 12 months following separation, within Northern California.
Confidentiality & Trade Secrets: Enforceable in California; covers proprietary methodologies, client lists, and pricing models.
