What It Analyzes

Every key area reviewed, flagged, and explained in plain English.

Enforceability by State

California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and other states have banned or severely restricted non-competes. Our analysis tells you if yours is even legally valid where you live.

Geographic Scope

Evaluates whether the restricted territory is reasonable — a local radius vs. a national or global ban on all competition.

Duration Assessment

Checks whether the restriction length is enforceable in your state and flags durations that courts commonly refuse to uphold.

Industry Definition

Examines how 'competition' is defined and whether it captures your whole career, a specific role, or just direct competitors.

Hidden Non-Solicitation

Many non-competes contain non-solicitation clauses preventing you from contacting former clients or recruiting former colleagues — often buried in the fine print.

Garden Leave Pay

Identifies whether the employer pays you during the restricted period (garden leave) or simply prevents you from working without compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my employer actually enforce a non-compete against me?

It depends heavily on your state. California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma have banned most non-competes. Even in states where they're allowed, courts routinely strike down overly broad agreements. Our analysis tells you how likely yours is to be enforced based on your specific situation.

What's the difference between a non-compete and a non-solicitation?

A non-compete prevents you from working for competitors. A non-solicitation prevents you from contacting former clients or employees. Both are often combined in the same document — our analyzer flags both separately so you understand all of your restrictions.

Should I sign a non-compete?

That depends on the terms. Overly broad non-competes can significantly harm your career. Our analysis identifies which provisions are unusual or likely unenforceable, giving you specific clauses to negotiate before signing.

What if I already signed a non-compete and want to leave?

You can still analyze your existing agreement to understand your actual risk before taking a new job. Many non-competes that appear intimidating are unenforceable. Knowing the difference lets you make an informed decision.
