What is a Non Compete Agreement?

The agreement must comply with Qatar Labor Law requirements, including reasonable limitations on duration and geographic scope, and must be necessary to protect legitimate business interests. It typically includes detailed provisions on restricted activities, confidentiality obligations, and enforcement mechanisms. The document is especially relevant in Qatar's growing knowledge-based economy and is commonly used in industries where intellectual property and client relationships are vital business assets.
