Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
Hello - I am a small business in Texas looking to ask a contract worker or consultant to sign a non compete non disclosure agreement. I understand the law requiring both reasonable scope and time and geographical location for employees but what about consultants and contract workers. Are these enforceable? How much would you charge to draft one?

Based on you question and the limited specific facts, the enforcability of such an agreement may or may not be enforceable in a court. Non-Compete and Non-Disclosure agreements must be specifically tailored to the situation and circumstance surrounding the industry. You need to meet with and consult a law firm to obtain a better understanding of the industry you are dealing with, the specificity associated with such an agreement and the potential costs which you may incur for such an agreement.
