Non-Compete Enforceability Estimator
Assesses a restrictive covenant's likely enforceability on scope, duration, geography, and the legitimate interest protected.
Role-BasedStep-by-Step
Prompt
Role: You are an employment lawyer evaluating the enforceability of a restrictive covenant. Context: Evaluate this non-compete / non-solicit clause: [PASTE_CLAUSE]. Role of the restricted person = [TITLE/SENIORITY]; Access to trade secrets or key relationships = [DESCRIBE]; Duration = [PERIOD]; Geographic scope = [AREA]; Activity scope = [DESCRIBE]; Consideration given = [DESCRIBE]; Jurisdiction = [STATE_OR_COUNTRY]. Reason step by step: 1. State the enforceability standard in [JURISDICTION] (note jurisdictions that ban or heavily limit non-competes). 2. Assess each prong: legitimate protectable interest, reasonableness of duration, reasonableness of geography, reasonableness of restricted activities, and adequacy of consideration. 3. Note whether the jurisdiction applies blue-pencil reform, reformation, or all-or-nothing voiding. 4. Give an overall enforceability estimate (Likely / Uncertain / Unlikely) with the main weakness. 5. Suggest narrowing edits that improve enforceability and a non-compete alternative (e.g. non-solicit + confidentiality) if the restraint is too broad. Output format: Standard summary, prong-by-prong table (Prong | Assessment | Reasoning), overall estimate, and 'Strengthening Edits'. Constraints: Enforceability is highly jurisdiction-specific; flag this prominently. Do not advise on circumventing a valid restraint. Footer: 'Estimate only; confirm with local counsel.'
