Create a Nevada Non-Compete Agreement with our customizable template!
A non-compete agreement in the State of Nevada is a legal document utilizing restrictive covenants that companies use to protect their business interests. This document obtains a non-competition covenant from employees that promises they will not disclose their trade secrets once their employment relationship with the company comes to an end. Companies usually require that once an employee’s time with the company comes to an end, they refrain from working with competitors for a certain period of time and similar companies within a geographical area to protect the employer's interests.
Before drafting a non-competition agreement, employers should seek legal advice from a law firm that practices employment law. The non-compete laws in Nevada are meant to balance the protection of the employer, but the agreements can't be overbroad. Nevada courts take many factors into consideration when determining enforceability. It's best to have an attorney who understands the business so that they understand the services of the former employee, the scope of activity, and how the new laws can better protect the business.
