Imagine that you are starting your own company in your hyper-competitive

industry: You are putting your life savings, your professional contacts, and

your innovative ideas on the line. As you begin to hire a sales force, you

consider binding new employees to non-compete agreements. Outline the ideal

terms of your employees' non-competes. What is its duration? What is its

geographical radius? Are these terms appropriate for your industry? When you

are done, pass your proposed terms to classmates and discuss its enforceability.
