Trusted employment law guidance for Alberta employers — practical, clear, and focused on results

Drafting non-solicitation and non-competition agreements

Alberta employers rely on non-competition and non-solicitation agreements to protect their clients, confidential information, competitive advantage, and goodwill. However, overly broad or vague clauses may be unenforceable in court. These clauses are only enforceable if they are reasonable in scope, duration, geographic reach, and serve a legitimate business purpose.

Our employment lawyers assist Alberta businesses in drafting, reviewing, and enforcing restrictive covenants that are legally sound and tailored to the employee’s role. Properly drafted agreements reduce the risk of employee disputes, legal challenges, and loss of business.

We provide guidance on:

Drafting enforceable non-solicitation and non-competition clauses;
Updating agreements to reflect current business needs and case law; and
Ensuring clarity, fairness, and compliance with Alberta employment law.

Contact us today for expert advice on creating non-solicitation and non-competition agreements that protect your Alberta business.
