Quick Facts — Noncompete Agreement Lawyers

Is a Non-Compete Agreement Enforceable in Wyoming?

In Wyoming, non-compete agreements, which restrict employees from competing with former employers in the same industry, are permitted. To be legally enforceable, a non-compete agreement in Wyoming must meet the following requirements:

  1. It must be in writing
  2. It must be part of an employment contract
  3. The non-compete must be supported by adequate consideration
  4. The duration and geographical restrictions must be reasonable
  5. The terms of the agreement cannot violate public policy

How Long Does a Wyoming Non-Compete Agreement Last?

The Supreme Court of Wyoming has determined that any non-compete agreement that lasts for more than one year is unreasonable. The one year period will begin when the employment relationship between the two parties is terminated.

How Do You Get Around a Non-Compete Agreement in Wyoming?

Non-compete agreements in Wyoming must be reasonable meaning that the employer is entitled to reasonable protection from harm to their business while not imposing unreasonable restrictions on an employee. To get around a non-compete agreement, an employee must prove that the contract is overly broad or imposes an undue hardship on their ability to earn a living.

When determining reasonableness, courts will consider some of the following factors:

  • Inequality in bargaining power between the employer and employee
  • Employer’s good faith
  • Nature of the position the employee held
  • Information the employee had access to
  • Current employment conditions
  • Whether the restrictions protect a legitimate business interest
  • Risk of the employer losing customers or revenue

What Voids a Wyoming Non-Compete Agreement?

All non-compete agreements must be supported by consideration otherwise the contract will be void. When an employee signs a non-compete agreement as part of an employment contract, then continuing employment is sufficient consideration.

If an employee is presented with a non-compete agreement after employment has begun, then additional consideration like a promotion, raise in pay, or additional benefits will be necessary. Without additional consideration, the contract will be void.

Noncompete agreement termination options?

I recently left my job after signing a Noncompete Agreement. I am looking for a new job, but I am concerned about the restrictions in the Noncompete Agreement and how it might affect my ability to find a new job. I am looking for advice on my options for terminating or modifying the Noncompete Agreement so that I can find a new job without having to worry about any potential legal repercussions.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

I am a WA State employment attorney. If you didn’t receive anything in return for signing the non-compete, it may be relatively easy to get out of it. If, however, you signed in return for something, such as a severance package, it will be challenging to get out of the agreement. However, many non-compete agreements are written overly broadly and may not be enforceable under the laws of WA and other states. You may want to consult with a WA State employment attorney for a review of the documents and law(s) of the state(s) where you may want to work or set up a business. (A WA State attorney can only provide legal advice in WA, but can help you find applicable law/case decisions for other states but without providing anything beyond information, much like a law librarian).

Noncompete agreement and public policy?

I recently accepted a job offer with a new employer who asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am concerned that the agreement may not be in line with public policy and wanted to get a professional opinion from a lawyer to make sure I am not putting myself in a difficult situation.

If you are in Washington State, where I'm licensed, as opposed to D.C., please let me know what kind of help you are looking for - have you already signed the agreement? I've been a WA State attorney for nearly 38 years, and specialize in employment law.

Noncompete Agreement

Washington

Asked on Jan 19, 2025

Can my employer enforce a non-compete agreement if I was laid off due to COVID-19?

Can my former employer legally enforce the non-compete agreement I signed when I was hired, considering I was recently laid off due to the economic impact of COVID-19 and the agreement seems to restrict my ability to find new employment in my field? I have been actively seeking new job opportunities in the same industry, but potential employers are hesitant to hire me due to the non-compete agreement, which restricts me from working for competitors or starting my own business in the same field for a certain period of time. I want to understand if the non-compete agreement is still valid and enforceable given the circumstances of my layoff and the current job market conditions.

Merry K.

Answered Jan 28, 2025

I'm sorry, but your question is impossible to answer without reviewing your contract and knowing more about your type of job and compensation. Be aware that terms in such agreements are often found to be non-enforceable. You can start by reviewing the Washington State law on point: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.62&full=true

Noncompete agreement breach consequences?

I recently left my job as an employee at a company that I had worked for for over a year. I was asked to sign a noncompete agreement when I began the job, which I did. I have since started a new job in the same industry as my former employer, which is in violation of the noncompete agreement. I am now wondering what the consequences of this breach of contract may be and am seeking legal advice.

Noncompete agreement for consultants?

I am a consultant who is looking to take on a new client, but the client requires me to sign a Noncompete Agreement. I want to make sure that I am not signing away my rights, and that the agreement is fair and reasonable. I am also interested in understanding how this agreement would affect my ability to work with other clients.

Venus C.

Answered May 30, 2023

Hello. I appreciate your concerns about signing a Noncompete Agreement. It's essential to protect your rights and ensure the agreement is fair and reasonable given that a noncompete typically restricts competing activities during or after the term of engagement. Without knowing more about the business relationship and reviewing the actual terms, whether the non-compete is fair, reasonable, or even enforceable remains an open-ended question. Bearing this in mind, if the noncompete is preventing you from taking on other clients during or after the end of your relationship (or both), the scope of this restriction must be reasonable in terms of time, geographic area, and the specific activities it seeks to prevent. For example, does the noncompete specify the types of clients, industries, or geographic areas that are off-limits? What is the duration of the noncompete? If the client breaches your main agreement, will that render your noncompete void and unenforceable? These are just a few general questions that require a thorough review and analysis against Florida non-compete laws. Overall, the ultimate goal is to carefully review the terms to understand how they might impact your ability to take on new clients. If you don’t understand or are unsure about the contractual terms and their legal implications, it's highly recommended you consult with an attorney who can review the noncompete and provide you with personalized legal advice before you sign.
