QUESTION

Non-Compete Agreement Issues

Asked on May 12th, 2014 on Employment Contracts - Missouri
More details to this question:
My employer wants me to sign a non-compete agreement that 1.) states I cannot directly or indirectly complete with a client or potential client of theirs if there has been any association with that client up to 3 years prior to termination and for 2 years after. 2.) has no boundaries defined in terms of geography 3.) defines the competing business as being anything software related of the kind and type. This seems very broad to me and the length of time excessive. Am I off-base here? Also, I've been employed there for 3 months and this is the new one.

Not sure what your question is.  The provision seems very broad to me, as well, so broad that it is unlikely that a court would enforce it, at least not to its full extent.
