Under Florida law, noncompete agreements are considered restraints of trade and are strictly construed according to our statutes.
Noncompete agreements must have consideration to support them and must be reasonable in their geographic scope and time limits. Consideration for a noncompete can be the job, if entered into at the start of the job, otherwise they generally have to have some other consideration, like an increase in pay or a bonus.
