Legal Question in Business Law in Washington

Re: noncompete agrements

Non-compete agreements must be narrowly tailored, which means just broad enough to protect the employer's legitimate interests. Courts will especially look at geographic limitations and the duration of the prohibition against competing. Trade secrets are also protected even absent non-compete agreements if the employer can show that the information qualifies as a trade secret.

It is a little hard to be more specific than that because your question is a bit short on specifics.
