Oklahoma Non-Compete Agreement FAQ
Common questions about non-compete agreements under Oklahoma law.
What makes a non-compete enforceable in Oklahoma?
Under 15 Okla. Stat. §217, the agreement must be (1) supported by consideration, (2) limited to a specific geographic area, (3) no longer than 2 years, and (4) tied to a legitimate business interest such as trade secrets or established customer relationships. Courts may narrow overly broad restrictions rather than void them.
Can an Oklahoma employer enforce a non-compete against a former employee?
Yes, if the agreement meets the statutory requirements. Oklahoma courts have upheld well-drafted non-competes that are geographically and temporally reasonable. However, agreements that are overbroad in scope or unsupported by consideration are vulnerable to judicial reformation or rejection.
