The support you need to move forward
Wisconsin is strict about non-compete agreements.
Under Wisconsin law, a covenant not to compete is enforceable only if it is reasonably necessary to protect the employer and reasonable in time, territory and scope. If any part of it is unreasonable, a court may refuse to enforce the restriction at all, rather than trimming it down.
For businesses in Menomonee Falls's industrial and commercial corridors, that means restrictive covenants need careful drafting. Confidentiality agreements, non-solicitation clauses and well-structured supplier and customer contracts are often better tools for protecting relationships and information than broad non-competes.
A non-compete that asks for too much can end up protecting nothing.

Check current non-competes and confidentiality agreements against Wisconsin standards.

Business Law for Menomonee Falls, Waukesha County.
Wisconsin courts look at each restriction in context, including the employee's role and the territory involved. Agreements used for every employee in the same form are more likely to run into trouble.
If you are an employee asked to sign a non-compete, it can also be worth having it reviewed before you sign.
