Understanding Non-Solicitation Agreements

Chicago Employment Attorney

A non-solicitation agreement forbids former or departing employees from soliciting other employees to work for another employer, for a specified period of time. The agreement may also forbid the employee from soliciting the company's customers and/or vendors after leaving the employer. If you have been asked to sign a non-solicitation agreement, it advisable to have the agreement reviewed by an employment lawyer before you sign it. Signing a non-solicitation agreement, non-compete agreement or severance agreement without first consulting an attorney may hinder future employment opportunities or business ventures.
