A non-solicitation provision is a contract clause that prevents a party from actively trying to hire away a company’s employees or poach its customers and vendors for a set time. Think of it as a “no-steal” promise that protects relationships a business relies on; for investors it matters because such clauses can preserve workforce stability, revenue streams, and the value of an acquisition, while their absence or enforcement risk can affect future costs and growth.
