There is a lot of nuance to the enforceability of non-compete agreements. To save you some time, they are generally enforceable.

There are two common contexts in which non-compete clauses show up. In the employment context, non-competes are difficult to impossible to enforce. Non-competes in the sale of the business are much easier to enforce.

1. Scope of Activity
2. Geographic
3. Time
