Document background
The Letter of Non-Solicitation is a vital business document used in the Philippine business environment to protect an organization's valuable relationships and investments in its workforce and client base. This document becomes particularly relevant when employees, contractors, or business partners conclude their relationship with an organization and there's a need to prevent them from approaching the organization's employees, clients, or business contacts for competitive purposes. The letter must be carefully drafted to comply with Philippine labor laws and competition regulations, ensuring it's reasonable in scope and duration to be enforceable. While similar to non-compete agreements, Letters of Non-Solicitation are generally more focused and thus more likely to be enforced under Philippine law, as they specifically target the protection of business relationships rather than broadly restricting competition.
