A Missouri non-solicitation agreement is a contract that establishes rules and limitations regarding the use of a business or entity’s confidential and proprietary information. It can exist between an employer and employee, or between two business entities that either work together or are undergoing an acquisition. It’s intended to protect business interests against competitors.
Legally Enforceable in Missouri? Yes, but the duration can’t last more than one (1) year, and they are not enforceable for employees whose duties are strictly clerical or secretarial (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 431.202).
