Silverback Contracts · Employment contract and non-compete

Your employment contract and non-compete, read before you sign.

The offer letter gets read. The restrictions at the back get skimmed. Those are the pages that decide where you can work next.

Upload it free. Every page gets read and you see the three problems that would cost you most. Analysis, not legal advice.

What people miss

Three clauses to check before you sign

What counts as competing

A non-compete with a vague definition of "competitor" can cover far more of your industry than the job you are taking. Check the length, the miles and the definition together.

Side projects that become theirs

Invention and work-product clauses often claim anything you create while employed, on your own time included. Look for a carve-out for work done off the clock with your own equipment.

Non-solicit reaching your old clients

A non-solicit can stop you from working with people you knew before this job. Check whether it lists only clients you served there.

The clock

Non-compete rules are set state by state. A handful of states, California among them, ban most of them, and others limit length and reach.
