Minnesota became the fourth state to ban non-compete agreements. This past session, in S.F. 3852, the legislature sought to close a loophole it had identified in the 2023 ban: non-solicitation provisions between service providers and their customers.
The article from Finance & Commerce discusses a new statutory ban on non-solicitation provisions between service providers and customers, effective from January 1, 2024. This legislation prohibits agreements that prevent service providers from soliciting or accepting business from their former clients for a specified period after the termination of their service contract. The ban aims to promote competition and mobility within the service industry, allowing professionals like consultants, freelancers, and contractors to freely engage with clients they have previously worked with. The article highlights the implications for businesses, noting that while this change provides more freedom for service providers, it also requires companies to rethink their strategies for client retention and confidentiality. Legal experts suggest that businesses might need to explore alternative methods like non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect their interests without infringing on the new law.
