What Guard-Clause catches in NDAs and non-competes
Non-Compete That Covers Everything
§2 — Non-Competition
Broad non-competes restrict you from working in your entire industry — not just with direct competitors. Duration of 12–24 months, geographic scope of 'any market the company operates in.' That could mean anywhere.
Non-Solicitation That Blocks Referrals
§3 — Non-Solicitation
You can't contact former colleagues, clients, or partners — even if they reach out to you first. Some clauses extend to social media connections and industry events.
Confidentiality with No Expiration
§1 — Confidential Information
The NDA defines 'confidential information' so broadly that it covers general industry knowledge. The obligation has no end date — it survives indefinitely.
No Carve-Outs for Public Knowledge
§1.3 — Exclusions
Standard NDAs exclude publicly available information. Aggressive ones don't — meaning you could be restricted from discussing facts anyone can Google.
