Legal Question in Business Law in Wisconsin

Noncompetition agreements are enforceable in WI to the extent that they are limited to specific the specific geographic area needed to protect the employer's interests and are not otherwise overly broad. However, if they are so broad that they leave former employees with few ways to support themselves, they can sometimes be struck down by courts. These are complex documents which vary greatly, so it is impossible to advise you without reading over yours. You should consult with an experienced employment lawyer for this purpose.
