Georgia rules built into this template

  • Under the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq.), a non-compete against a former employee may be enforced only against certain employees, such as those in sales, management, or key or professional roles, and a post-employment restriction of two years or less is presumed reasonable (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-57). A court may modify an overbroad covenant.
  • Federal law: the FTC's 2024 rule banning most non-competes was set aside by a federal court and is not in effect, so state law controls.
