Non-Compete Agreement
A non-compete can lock you out of your industry for years — if you sign blindly.
Non-compete agreements restrict where you can work after leaving a company. Enforceability varies wildly by state, country, and industry. BrieflyGo maps every clause to help you understand what you’re actually agreeing to — and what’s likely unenforceable.
What BrieflyGo checks
- Geographic scope of the restriction
- Duration of the non-compete
- Industry and role definitions
- Consideration (what you receive in exchange)
- Garden leave or post-termination pay provisions

What risks are detected
Overly broad geography
World-wide or nationwide restrictions for a local sales role are typically unenforceable — but still expensive to fight.
No consideration offered
Enforceability weakens significantly when you receive nothing extra for agreeing after hiring.
Vague competitor definition
"Any business that competes" could include your next employer in an unrelated market segment.
Stacked restrictions
Non-compete + non-solicitation + non-disparagement together can effectively kill your career in a field.
