Document background
Non Circumvention Agreements are essential legal instruments in the Belgian business environment where protecting business relationships and opportunities is crucial. These agreements are typically used when parties share valuable business contacts, opportunities, or engage in negotiations through intermediaries. The document prevents parties from bypassing the intermediary or directly approaching protected contacts, ensuring that business relationships and commission structures remain protected. Under Belgian law, these agreements must carefully balance protection of legitimate business interests with competition law requirements. They are particularly important in international business transactions, M&A discussions, and broker relationships where confidential business connections hold significant value. The agreement includes specific enforcement mechanisms and remedies available under Belgian law, while ensuring compliance with both national and EU regulations regarding trade secrets and fair business practices.
