An Oregon non-solicitation agreement is a restrictive contract entered into by an employer and employee to prevent the latter from poaching other employees and customers. A company’s staff, clients, and other contacts are protectable business interests, and requiring employees to sign a non-solicitation agreement before starting their job is one way of safeguarding those interests. The document enables the employer to define which business relationships are protected from non-solicitation, create durational and geographical limits, and establish other important terms and conditions.
