Restrictive contracts are legal agreements that limit a person's actions in some way. Common examples include non-compete clauses, which prevent employees from working for competitors after leaving a job, and non-disclosure agreements, which protect sensitive information from being shared. These contracts aim to protect business interests and maintain confidentiality. While restrictive contracts can help businesses safeguard their assets, they can also limit individual freedom and career opportunities. Courts often review these agreements to ensure they are reasonable in scope and duration. If deemed overly restrictive, they may be unenforceable, balancing the interests of both parties involved.
