Litigating Enforcement or Validity of a Non-Compete Contract
Non-compete agreements, which restrict the ability of a former partner or employee to work for a competitor, straddle the line between allowing a business to maintain its trade secrets and stifling free-market competition. As such, enforcing a non-compete agreement can be complex. Legally enforceable non-compete agreements must be of limited duration and within a certain geographical area.

Are There Any Industry-Specific Rules For Non-Compete Agreements In Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, non-compete agreements are generally enforceable if they meet certain criteria, but there are no industry-specific rules that apply universally across all sectors. Instead, the enforceability of a non-compete agreement is evaluated based on factors such as reasonableness in duration, geographic scope, and the necessity to protect legitimate business interests.
For instance, industries that rely heavily on trade secrets or proprietary information, such as technology or pharmaceuticals, may have a stronger case for enforcing non-compete agreements. However, even in these industries, the agreements must be narrowly tailored to protect specific interests without imposing undue hardship on the employee.
As Philadelphia non-compete agreement lawyers, we advise clients that courts often scrutinize these agreements to ensure they are not overly restrictive. At Weisberg Law, our attorneys can help you draft or review such agreements to maximize their enforceability while complying with Pennsylvania law.
If you have concerns about how a non-compete agreement might impact your business or career, consulting with an experienced attorney can provide you with the guidance needed to navigate these complexities.
