Document background
The Non-Solicitation Agreement For Independent Contractors is essential for businesses operating in Ireland that engage independent contractors and need to protect their valuable business relationships and interests. This document is particularly crucial when contractors have access to sensitive customer information, strategic relationships, or key business contacts. It establishes clear boundaries regarding the solicitation of customers, employees, and suppliers, while ensuring compliance with Irish competition law and the principle of restraint of trade. The agreement typically includes specific temporal and geographical restrictions, detailed definitions of restricted activities, and provisions for enforcement under Irish jurisdiction. It's designed to strike a balance between protecting legitimate business interests and maintaining reasonable restrictions that courts will enforce.
