Example Output
MEMORANDUM
TO: File FROM: Legal Counsel DATE: August 7, 2026 RE: Contract Validity Under State Law
ISSUE
Whether a non-compete agreement exceeding two years is enforceable under applicable state law.
RULE
Under State Statute § 8-1-02, non-compete agreements are enforceable if they are reasonable in time, area, and line of business. The statutory presumption favors restrictions of two years or less.
ANALYSIS
The agreement restricts the employee from competing for three years. This duration exceeds the statutory presumption of reasonableness. However, in Smith v. Tech Corp., 123 State Rep. 456, the court upheld a three-year restriction based on legitimate business interests. Here, the employer has demonstrated protectable interests in customer relationships and trade secrets sufficient to justify the extended restriction.
CONCLUSION
The agreement is likely enforceable despite the three-year duration, following the reasoning in Smith and the statutory framework.
