Is It Legally Enforceable in Missouri?

Yes — but the limitations cannot last more than one year, and they are not enforceable for employees whose duties are strictly clerical or secretarial.[1]

Types of Solicitation to Prohibit

In Missouri, an employer can prohibit an ex-employee from soliciting, recruiting, or hiring the company’s:

  • Former or current customers/clients
  • Former or current employees
  • Independent contractors
  • Suppliers and other similar relationships

What to Include

What should you include in a non-solicitation agreement.

A non-solicitation covenant typically outlines limitations with regard to:

1. Time Restraint

The duration of the agreement determines the start and end dates that bind the individual to the restrictive terms. Under Missouri statute, a non-solicit covenant — similar to non-compete and non-disclosure agreements — cannot last for more than one year.

2. Geographical Restraint

This section specifies the location or area where the individual is not allowed to engage in the prohibited activities as part of the non-solicit agreement.

3. Specific Action

The agreement must define the exact actions that the individual is restricted from engaging in, whether recruiting specific clients and employees or soliciting any and all business parties associated with the employer.
