Noncompetition or noncompete agreements are agreements that bar an employee from leaving a job and then doing the same type of work for a competing company within a certain geographic area for a certain period of time. Noncompete agreements are legal and enforceable in Michigan as long as they are not overly broad. Our lawyers routinely draft non-compete and confidentiality agreements that are fair to both the employer and employee.
