Document background
The Letter of Non-Solicitation serves as a crucial business protection tool in the Indian corporate landscape, where business relationships and human capital are highly valued assets. This document is typically employed when there is a need to protect a company's interests during or after business relationships, employment transitions, or corporate transactions. The letter establishes clear boundaries regarding solicitation of employees, clients, and business partners, while ensuring compliance with Indian contract law and competition regulations. It differs from non-compete agreements in its focused scope and higher enforceability under Indian law. When drafting a Letter of Non-Solicitation, special attention must be paid to reasonable limitations in terms of duration and geographical scope, as well as clear definitions of prohibited activities, to ensure enforceability in Indian courts.
