Non-compete clause

A non-compete clause is a contract term restricting an employee from joining a competitor or starting a rival business for a set period after leaving. Its enforceability varies widely by country and jurisdiction.

For executives, non-competes and related non-solicit clauses shape when and where they can move next — and are a routine point of negotiation in a senior offer.
