“It’s reasonable and that’s in compliance with the statutes, and the floor statute on non-compete governs, which provides presumptive reasonableness as far as scope, geographic location, and what’s protected under the statute. That means it has to have a legitimate purpose and it must be reasonable as far as time duration, all that’s included in the statute. So when you’re drafting a non-compete, you want to make sure it’s in compliance with this statute.”
