Nicholas Clifford, Thomas Giacobbe, and Bennett Kuhar have co-authored the Missouri chapter of Practising Law Institute’s (PLI) Noncompete Agreements and Related Restrictive Covenants, a leading treatise addressing the evolving law governing restrictive covenants across jurisdictions.

The chapter surveys Missouri law governing noncompete agreements and related restrictive covenants, including nonsolicitation and confidentiality provisions. It outlines the legal standards Missouri courts apply to enforceability, including requirements related to scope, duration, geographic limits, and protection of legitimate business interests. It also addresses drafting considerations, common pitfalls, consideration requirements, and recent case law and enforcement trends, and provides guidance on litigating restrictive covenant disputes in Missouri.
