FAQ

California's Noncompetition Law Does Not Mention Employees The employment context is included within this definition. So are independent contractors. To state this another way: California' noncompete law is not limited to employees. It applies to any contract.

The ban covers all non-competes for U.S. workers (including employees and independent contractors) with limited carve-outs, and is subject to certain exceptions based on the FTC's statutory authority.

Non-competes are enforceable in Utah in many situations. A Utah court will usually enforce a non-compete agreement if the employer shows that the agreement was not made after “bad faith” negotiations and that agreement was necessary for the company to protect its interests.

The exceptions to the rule pertain to existing agreements with senior executives, sale-of-business non-competes, and causes of action that accrue before the rule's effective date of September 4, 2024.

If an independent contractor violates a non-compete agreement, the company that issued the non-compete contract may take legal action against them. They can file a lawsuit seeking damages, a court injunction prohibiting the worker from engaging in competitive activities, or both.

Yes, if you have signed one with your employer. However, non-compete clauses are operable only for a reasonable period of time only even if the clause mentions otherwise.

Several factors can void or limit the enforceability of a non-compete agreement, including overly broad restrictions, unreasonable time frames or geographical limits, lack of consideration (such as compensation or job opportunities provided in exchange for the agreement), and violation of public policy.

Even workers labeled as “independent contractors”—who should have the freedom to work for multiple clients—are often required to sign non-competes that limit where they can work. Employers often present non-competes as a “take it or leave it” contract, forcing workers either to sign or forego employment.

Although there is little guidance in Utah regarding noncompetes against independent contractors, a Utah court would likely view them even more harshly. A noncompete clause is a legal agreement between an employer and an employee that prohibits the employee from working for a new employer who is a competitor.These agreements may prohibit the employee from entering into competition with the employer after the employee leaves the employer's company. Noncompetes are limited to one year in duration or five years if the contract involves the sale of a business or partnership agreement. In Utah, an employer may enforce a noncompete agreement as long as it's within a year from the day the employee is no longer employed. The rule bans any noncompete clause for a worker, independent contractor, or another nonemployee worker. The Coulter Law Group specializes in Utah Corporate Non-Compete Agreements.
