You’re here because you have a Virginia non-compete agreement.
So why not check out our book, How to Beat Your Virginia Non-Compete? We answer common questions about Virginia non-compete law, including recommendations for employees and business owners.
Could we have called the book, “Non-Compete for Dummies”? No way. You’re no dummy (lots of people have signed non-competes without even realizing it). And non-compete contracts are tricky.

So you want to start a company? The great American dream can be yours, right?
What kind of company? What kind of clients? What kind of services? Do you hope to stay in the same business you are in now? Serve the same clients or customers? Use your years of experience to start a better business?

Just this week, I was speaking to a Virginia resident who wanted to open his own business. He has the time. The money. The talent. But he he can’t open the business.
He can’t because he signed a contract that says for a period of time he will not open a business, or work for a competitor within 15 miles of his current office.
He could (a) create jobs; (b) feed his family; and, (c) serve the public – all of this without harming his old employer or using their secret or trade secret information. So really, isn’t capitalism in favor of this kind of growth? Isn’t our unsteady economy reliant on it?
