Document background
The Letter of Non-Solicitation serves as a crucial business protection tool in the Belgian legal framework, commonly used when business relationships conclude or employees depart from an organization. This document is particularly relevant in scenarios where protecting client relationships, employee relationships, and business knowledge is essential. Under Belgian law, such letters must be carefully drafted to ensure enforceability, considering both the Belgian Civil Code and employment law requirements. The Letter of Non-Solicitation typically includes specific provisions about who cannot be solicited, for how long, and within what geographical area, while ensuring compliance with Belgian competition law and constitutional rights to work. It's commonly used in professional services, technology, and consulting sectors where client and employee relationships are particularly valuable assets.
