A non-compete agreement is a contractual clause that restricts a former employee, typically an executive, from working for competitors or starting a competing business for a defined period and geographic scope.

These agreements protect sensitive business information, client relationships, and market advantage. They must be reasonable in duration and scope to be legally enforceable.

In executive hiring, understanding and negotiating non-compete clauses is essential to avoid legal complications and ensure a smooth transition between roles.
