Re: contract clause re non compete

Non-compete provisions in Pennsylvania are typically enforceable, provided that the scope and timing of the prohibition is "reasonable" within your particular industry. The "etc, etc" portion of your post probably includes those parameters.

If you'd like to discuss those terms in further detail, please feel free to contact me.
