Louisiana is one of the few states that governs non-compete agreements by specific statute rather than common law alone. La. R.S. §23:921 sets strict requirements: the agreement must be in writing, must not exceed a two-year restriction period, and must specify the parishes (Louisiana's equivalent of counties), municipalities, or parts thereof where the restriction applies. Any agreement that fails to meet these statutory requirements is void and unenforceable.
Whether you run a New Orleans hospitality company restricting departing managers, a Baton Rouge petrochemical firm protecting process engineering knowledge, or a Lafayette oilfield services company preventing departing workers from joining competitors, Louisiana law demands precise compliance with the statutory framework. The agreement must specify geographic scope using Louisiana parish names — a requirement unique to Louisiana's civil law tradition.
SignAI generates your Louisiana non-compete with the right legal language automatically — including compliance with La. R.S. §23:921 requirements, specification of restricted parishes and municipalities, enforcement of the two-year maximum duration, and Louisiana-specific governing law clauses consistent with the state's civil law system.

FAQ
Yes, but only when they meet the strict requirements of La. R.S. §23:921. The agreement must be in writing, cannot exceed two years in duration, and must specify the parishes, municipalities, or parts thereof where the restriction applies. Any failure to meet these statutory requirements renders the non-compete void.
Louisiana imposes a hard statutory maximum of two years under La. R.S. §23:921. Any non-compete that exceeds this period is void. Unlike many states where the maximum is a guideline, Louisiana's two-year cap is a bright-line rule with no exceptions for employment non-competes.
Louisiana's civil law tradition requires geographic specificity. La. R.S. §23:921 mandates that non-competes identify the specific parishes, municipalities, or parts thereof where the restriction applies. A non-compete that uses vague geographic descriptions — like 'the state of Louisiana' or a mileage radius — may be void for failing to meet this requirement.
Louisiana courts are generally strict about compliance with La. R.S. §23:921. If the agreement fails to meet the statutory requirements — such as by exceeding two years or failing to specify parishes — courts will typically void the restriction rather than reform it. Precise drafting is essential under Louisiana law.
Louisiana's non-compete statute requires that the agreement be ancillary to an employment relationship. For new hires, the employment itself constitutes consideration. For existing employees, courts evaluate whether the agreement was supported by adequate consideration, such as continued employment, a raise, or promotion.
