Document background
The Non-Compete Agreement After Termination is a crucial document for UAE businesses seeking to protect their legitimate interests, intellectual property, and market position when employees leave the organization. This agreement, governed by UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, establishes post-employment restrictions that prevent former employees from engaging in competitive activities, soliciting customers, or misusing confidential information. The document must carefully balance the employer's need for protection with the employee's right to work, ensuring compliance with UAE labor laws that limit non-compete periods to a maximum of two years. It is particularly vital for roles involving access to sensitive information, key client relationships, or specialized knowledge that could be detrimental to the business if used by competitors.
