Draft non-compete agreements with the enforceability questions surfaced up front
Use Gixo when a restrictive covenant draft needs jurisdiction-aware scope, duration, step-down language, and non-solicitation structure that an employment counsel reviewer can actually defend.
What a useful non-compete draft needs
The job is not to ask AI for a legal answer. The job is to prepare a draft or artifact that a qualified reviewer can actually work with.
Capture territory, industry vertical, customer segment, and competitor list so the scope is specific enough to defend in review.
Define primary restriction period, optional step-down phases, and fallback shorter durations so the draft holds up if a court trims scope.
Layer in customer non-solicit, employee non-solicit, and supplier non-solicit terms with distinct scopes and durations from the non-compete itself.
Capture garden-leave compensation, severance-linked restrictions, and bonus-clawback structure so the consideration question is on the page.
Flag California, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Washington, and similar high-restriction jurisdictions so review sees the risk early instead of after signature.
Comments, review state, assignees, due dates, versions, and exports stay attached to the same document.
How non-compete drafting works
Define the role, the competitive concern, the legitimate business interest, and the jurisdiction the employee works in.
Define the activities restricted, the territory, the period, and the step-down options so the draft is specific and defensible.
Add customer and employee non-solicit terms with their own scope, capture the consideration paid for the restriction, and reference the underlying employment agreement.
Send to employment counsel inside the workspace, capture redlines and approval, then export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT.
