Document background
The Non Compete Agreement Between Business Partners is essential when establishing or modifying business partnerships in the United States, particularly when partners have access to sensitive information or significant client relationships. This document protects the business's legitimate interests by preventing partners from competing directly after leaving the partnership. It must be carefully drafted to comply with state-specific requirements, as enforceability varies significantly across jurisdictions. The agreement typically includes specific provisions about duration, geographic scope, and prohibited activities, while ensuring reasonable restrictions that courts will uphold.
