Contract Required

[ebonybailey]

I am looking for a template contract that I can use that basically states that between two business's there will be no attempts to steal eachothers staff or clients, not sure what the legal term is but can anyone supply one?

We can probably help with that.

If you'd like to PM me your contact details, I'd be happy to give you a call/drop you an email.

Best wishes,
Steve

Likewise!

PM more info about the two businesses and the relationship etc and I can confirm costs.

To be honest with the amount of help I have given others I was hoping for the same. In other words something I would not have to pay for, a template that I could build.

What you are after is a non-poaching and non-solicitation agreement. There are many considerations such as whether the parties are genuinely in business, whether the document is to be structured as a deed of covenant, the intended geographical area, the duration of the restrictions etc. Restraint of trade provisions are subject to a range of enforceability requirements.

Without looking at these issues carefully from a legal perspective you could end up with a document that is not legally enforceable. It may well still act as a useful deterrent to the other party but if push>comes>to>shove>comes>to>dispute the restrictions could be considered null and void when tested in arbitration or in a court of law.

Hi Michael,

I typed in 'free b2b legal contracts uk'..into google, there was a site offering free legal stuff, but I couldn't open the site to see.

Best I can do, maybe worth a look, it may open on your computer :D

I have a whole bunch of legal templates I could mail you, unfortunately they are named by number so you would have to go through them one by one till you found what you were looking for.
