Non-Competition Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Aug 3, 2025

Is my non-competition agreement enforceable if I am terminated without cause?

I recently signed a non-competition agreement with my current employer, which restricts me from working for a competitor for a certain period of time after leaving the company. However, I am concerned about the enforceability of this agreement if I am terminated without cause. I want to understand if being terminated without cause would render the non-competition agreement null and void, or if I would still be bound by its terms.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 14, 2025

Whether a non-competition agreement remains enforceable if you’re terminated without cause depends on both the language of your contract and the law of the state that governs it. Termination without cause doesn’t automatically make a non-compete void, but courts often treat it as a factor in deciding whether enforcement is fair. Courts generally apply a “reasonableness” test to non-competes. To be enforceable, the restrictions must be narrowly tailored in duration, geographic scope, and the type of work restricted, and they must protect a legitimate business interest like trade secrets, confidential information, or customer goodwill. If you’re let go through no fault of your own, many courts are skeptical of an employer’s claim that preventing you from working elsewhere is necessary. For example, judges may ask why an employer who voluntarily ended the employment relationship should still be able to limit your ability to earn a living in your field. The outcome varies widely by state. California, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C. prohibit most non-competes outright. Massachusetts allows them but requires employers to pay “garden leave” or other compensation during the restricted period, and generally doesn’t allow enforcement against employees who were laid off or terminated without cause. Illinois and Colorado enforce non-competes only if income thresholds and notice requirements are met. In New York, the law isn’t settled: some courts uphold non-competes even after termination without cause if they’re otherwise reasonable, while others strike them down as unfair. Texas courts often enforce non-competes if they meet statutory requirements, regardless of whether the employee resigned or was terminated without cause. The Federal Trade Commission tried to ban most non-compete agreements in 2024, but a federal court struck down the rule before it took effect, and the FTC has since abandoned its appeal. There’s no federal ban in place today, although the FTC is still targeting abusive non-compete practices on a case-by-case basis. The exact wording of your contract also matters. Some non-competes say they apply only if you resign or are terminated for cause. Others apply regardless of how the employment ends. If your agreement doesn’t address termination scenarios, a court will fall back on state law and the reasonableness test. If there’s no compensation provided during the restricted period or if the restrictions are overly broad, you’ll have a stronger argument that enforcement is unreasonable. Non-compete agreements turn on the details of both the contract and the law in your state. The emplyment law attorneys on Contracts Counsel can review your agreement and advise you on whether its terms are enforceable given your specific circumstances.

Dental Associate Contract

Washington

Asked on Jul 17, 2023

Dental associate contract malpractice insurance?

I recently signed a dental associate contract with a practice in my local area. I am concerned about the malpractice insurance that is included in the contract, as I am not sure if the coverage is adequate. I am also unsure of the type of insurance that is provided and what it covers. I would like to know what the risks are in regards to my malpractice insurance and how I can ensure that I am properly protected.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

I am a WA State attorney. For starters, obtain a copy of your policy, print it, and read it carefully, using a yellow highlighter to highlight your questions/concerns, while making notes on a notepad. Check with independent malpractice insurers in WA to determine typical amounts of coverage in your field and county. Consider buying more on your own and/or an umbrella policy. Check with instructors, mentors, and colleagues in your field to seek guidance on adequate coverage.

Non-Competition Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jun 18, 2025

Is my non-competition agreement enforceable?

I recently left my job at a technology company and signed a non-competition agreement when I started working there. I have been offered a new job opportunity with a competitor in the same industry, but I am unsure if the non-competition agreement I signed is enforceable. I want to know if I can legally take the new job without facing any legal consequences from my previous employer.

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

Generally the answers is: it depends. non-compete clauses are falling out of favor in most courts due to the growing restrictive nature of the clauses. It of course depends on your industry, state, and the uniqueness of your position. For example, a non-compete clause in the retail industry saying you cannot work for a competitor store as a customer service representative is likely unenforceable. If you are a highly skilled, trained, and educated wall street stock trader you may be prevented from working for a competitor for a period of time -- but even that is likely not enforcement -- it depends on alot of factors specific to you, the position, the industry, the state, and the acutal contract language. I highly recommend you consult with local employment lawyer in your state to get specific answers to your situation. Good luck.

Employee or "independent contractor"

Hello, I'm starting a janitorial company. and I'm trying to keep my cost down. as of right now i will be doing all the "cleanings" if i get to over whelm i might need help for one or two gigs which would be 8 hrs or 16 hrs every two weeks if that. so i wanted to see if in California if im able to get help and have them come in as a independent contractor?

Alen A.

Answered Oct 1, 2021

Hi there, In California, workers are presumed to be employees UNLESS a company can prove ALL THREE of the following: 1) Control: Worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; 2) SCOPE: The worker perform work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and 3) TRADE: The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed. AB5 does list occupations that are exempt from the test above but your occupation isn't one of them. I would need more information to give you legal advice but based on your question, you will not likely be able to have them as independent contractors.

Exclusivity Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 25, 2024

Can an exclusivity agreement prevent me from working for a competitor after my employment ends?

I recently started a new job where I signed an exclusivity agreement that prohibits me from working for a competitor for a certain period of time after my employment ends. However, I am considering leaving this job and joining a competitor due to better career prospects. I am concerned about the legal implications of breaking this exclusivity agreement and whether it would be enforceable in preventing me from working for a competitor.

Laura H.

Answered Jun 28, 2024

Massachusetts has very specific requirements that must be met before a non-compete agreement will be enforceable. It must be reasonable, there must be adequate consideration (usually payment), and the employer must have a legitimate interest in stopping the employee from working. The best way to determine whether your specific agreement may be enforced is to have an attorney review it.
