Michigan rules built into this template

  • Under Mich. Comp. Laws § 445.774a, an employer may obtain a non-compete that protects its reasonable competitive business interests if it is reasonable as to duration, geographical area, and the type of employment or line of business. A court may limit an unreasonable covenant and enforce it as limited.
  • 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.
