What is a Phoenix Non-Compete?
A Phoenix Non-Compete is a legal agreement that prevents employees, contractors, or partners from starting or joining competing businesses within a specified geographic area for a set time after leaving your company. It’s designed to protect your business from losing valuable intellectual property, client relationships, or market share to former employees. However, it must be reasonable in scope to be enforceable under Phoenix law.
