Montana Non-Solicitation Agreement Template

A Montana non-solicitation agreement is a contract that prevents the signee from soliciting the employees and customers of a business owner. The document will need to identify both parties and relay the duration and scope of the agreement. Montana law specifically permits non-solicitation agreements between entities in conjunction with the sale of a business or dissolving of a partnership.
