Document background
The Non-Compete Non-Solicitation Agreement is a crucial business protection document used in Ireland when companies need to safeguard their legitimate business interests from former employees or contractors who might otherwise take advantage of confidential information, client relationships, or insider knowledge. This agreement typically includes detailed restrictions on competing activities, solicitation of customers, and poaching of employees, all carefully drafted to comply with Irish employment law and common law principles. The document is particularly important for roles involving access to sensitive information, key client relationships, or strategic business knowledge. It must be carefully balanced to protect the employer's interests while remaining reasonable and enforceable under Irish law, which generally views restrictive covenants with scrutiny.
