Nonsolicitation

Nonsolicitation is an agreement in which an employee or other party agrees to refrain from encouraging another party’s employees or customers to change their relationship with the other party in a way that would disadvantage the other party.

Nonsolicitation agreements may contain prohibitions against soliciting or encouraging any other company employee or other service provider from leaving the company; hiring or engaging other company employees (sometimes called a “no hire”); or soliciting the company’s customers or prospective customers.
