A North Carolina non-solicitation agreement is used by business owners to prohibit their employees or other entities from engaging in business with company clients and personnel. For employees, the contract will prevent them from soliciting customers and fellow workers for their own benefit during and after their employment. The agreement can also be used in conjunction with the sale of a business to prevent the seller from poaching their workforce and clientele.
