Non-Compete Loophole Finder
PROAnalyze employment non-compete clauses to identify enforceability weaknesses, jurisdiction conflicts, overbreadth issues, and negotiation opportunities with plain-English explanations.
Example Usage
I just got a job offer from a startup in Austin, Texas. My employment contract has a non-compete that says I can’t work for ‘any company developing machine learning software within the United States for 2 years after I leave.’ I’m from California and plan to be fully remote. Is this enforceable? What should I negotiate?
