Non-Solicitation

Non-Solicitation is a contractual restriction that limits a party’s ability to solicit or hire another party’s employees, contractors, customers, or vendors for a defined period and scope. In employment and M&A agreements, a Non-Solicitation is often used as a narrower alternative to non-competes, and Non-Solicitation enforceability and scope are common negotiation points.
