A Nebraska non-solicitation agreement is an agreement between two entities, usually an employee and employer, that intends intended to protect the business’s interests and proprietary information. It can stand alone as its own agreement, or be included in an employment or severance agreement. It sets certain restrictions regarding the type of work an employee can provide when they stop working for the company. These restrictions are only enforceable in a specific geographic region and for a specific time period.
Legally Enforceable in Nebraska?
Yes, so long as the restrictions are not harmful to the employee or the public, and they are no more severe than is absolutely necessary for the sake of protecting business interests (Securities Acceptance Corp. v. Brown, 106 N.W.2d 456, 463-464 (Neb. 1960)).
