We are pleased to share the 2026 edition of Seyfarth’s 50-State Non-Compete Desktop Reference, a trusted nationwide resource for navigating the complex and increasingly dynamic landscape of non-compete and trade secrets law.

What’s Inside

This year’s updated edition provides in-depth, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis of:

  • Enforceability of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Statutory notice, timing, and wage threshold requirements
  • Judicial trends and compliance considerations
  • Penalties and enforcement mechanisms
  • Restrictions on venue and choice-of-law provisions

With continued FTC scrutiny and growing state-level legislative momentum, organizations face increasing complexity in designing compliant restrictive covenant strategies.
