General Off-Topic Board / Non-compete clause in entry level associate contract? Is this odd?
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:23:32 PM »
This is just for an entry level associate position at a small firm. The contract has a non compete clause that says I can't work in this area in any capacity in this practice area for 1 year after I am no longer working there. The district specified is more than a quarter of the state, and it's by far the most populated and built up part.
It does say that the clause won't be valid if I am terminated or laid off however.
Is this a common thing for entry level attorney positions (on the consumer side) or is this strange?
