• Statutes: N/A
• Legally Enforceable? Yes, courts enforce non-solicitation agreements in Washington.
• Requirements: (Perry v. Moran, 109 Wash. 2d 691 (1987)): Courts use the same reasonableness test they apply to non-competes, asking the following:
  1. 1. Is the restriction necessary to protect the employer’s business interests or goodwill?
     2. Is the restraint placed on the employee unreasonable?
     3. Is the loss of the employee’s services injurious to the public?

   

Washington statutes state that a duration exceeding eighteen (18) months is presumed unreasonable unless evidence is provided to the contrary (§ 49.62.020).
