- "Covenants not to compete" are quite commonly given by key employees
- of companies which would be seriously damaged if said employee
- went to work for a competitor. Courts generally limit the scope of
- such covenants geographically and temporaly, so that they are
- reasonably related to the legitimate goal of preventing such
- employees from taking advantage of their former employer.

- Does Clinton have

- >>years, or forever?) What's the punishment for violating this rule?
-
- If the employees sign an agreement, presumably its an enforceable
- contract.
