Justee's non-compete agreement review tool analyzes employment non-competes for enforceability under state law, scope reasonableness, duration appropriateness, and consideration adequacy. The AI identifies risks including unenforceable provisions under state law, overly broad competitive activity definitions, excessive duration or geography, and missing consideration. Justee provides state-specific analysis and suggested revisions. Non-compete agreements restrict employees from working for competitors after leaving employment. While the FTC's 2024 non-compete ban was blocked by federal courts, many states restrict or prohibit them. California, Oklahoma, and North Dakota largely ban non-competes. Other states require reasonableness in time, geography, and scope. Understanding your state's law is essential before signing.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their employment agreement with a non-compete clause for a nurse practitioner leaving a hospital system in Charlotte, NC.

Issue Found: The non-compete prohibited working for any healthcare provider within 50 miles for 2 years, effectively requiring relocation from her hometown where she had lived for 30 years.

Justee Recommendation: We successfully negotiated reduction to 15 miles (the hospital's actual service area) and 12 months, and excluded academic and government healthcare positions.

Excessive Geographic Scope

Problematic Language

"For a period of 24 months following termination, Employee shall not provide healthcare services within 50 miles of any Company facility."

Recommended Language

"For a period of 12 months following termination, Employee shall not provide healthcare services within 15 miles of the specific facility where Employee was primarily based. This restriction does not apply to academic medical centers, government facilities, or emergency services."

Why it matters: Non-compete geographic scope should match the employer's actual competitive reach. Overly broad restrictions may be unenforceable and always warrant negotiation.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Non-Compete Agreement Review FAQ

Depends on your state. California, Oklahoma, and North Dakota largely prohibit them. Other states require reasonable scope, duration, and geography.

The FTC proposed banning most non-competes in 2024, but federal courts blocked the rule. State laws still apply.

Courts consider duration (typically 1-2 years), geography (areas where you worked), and scope (actual competitors, not entire industries).

Something of value exchanged for your promise not to compete—employment itself for new hires, or additional benefits for current employees.

Yes. Common negotiation points include duration, geographic scope, competitor definitions, and carve-outs for specific opportunities.
