Non-Solicitation Clause
A provision preventing one party from recruiting or doing business with the other party's employees or clients.
Non-solicitation clauses come in two forms: employee non-solicitation (preventing hiring away staff) and client non-solicitation (preventing poaching customers). They are generally more enforceable than non-compete clauses because they are more narrowly tailored.
These clauses are common in employment agreements, partnership dissolution agreements, and business sale contracts.
Example
A former business partner agrees not to solicit any of the firm's existing clients for two years after dissolution.
