re: Our small Gov telling businesses what they cant do Noncompete clauses in crosshairs

The law looks upon them with disfavor and most states have some fairly restrictive limitations on them as a result.

Sure. Employees can negotiate them, but as a practical matter- they don’t have much of a choice.

Correct but they have their place.

A friend of mine owns a business and just won a case where a company was started by a few former employees who were in direct competition with him. They went after his clients which they only knew about from working for him. He had NDAs as well as NCs signed. He won but imagine how much weaker his case would be without a NC.
