Non-Compete Agreement Colorado

A Colorado Non-Compete Agreement is a contract that restricts an employee from working for a competitor or starting a competing business after leaving a company. However, Colorado law significantly limits the enforceability of non-compete agreements, allowing them only under specific circumstances such as executive positions or protection of trade secrets.

Employers draft non-compete agreements, while employees review and sign them. These agreements are generally used for executives, employees with access to trade secrets or those in highly specialized roles.

The agreement is kept on file with the employer and may be referenced in case of disputes. Some businesses also store digital copies for legal recordkeeping.
