Why do many states strongly disfavor noncompete agreements and why do courts construe such agreements very strictly??
What will be an ideal response?
By their nature, noncompete agreements restrict employees from other employment opportunities and place a burden on the employees' ability to obtain a job in their chosen profession and in their desired location. They are thus viewed as restraints on trade. These covenants limit or preclude employees from engaging in their trade and earning a livelihood; thus, they are disfavored and strictly construed.?
