New Brunswick enforces non-compete agreements under common law, applying the Supreme Court of Canada's reasonableness framework. Courts evaluate whether the restriction protects a legitimate proprietary interest, is reasonable in time, geography, and scope, and does not offend the public interest. New Brunswick courts apply the Shafron principle that ambiguous terms cannot be saved through notional severance.
Whether you manage a Saint John energy company restricting departing engineers, a Moncton technology firm protecting proprietary software, or a Fredericton government services company preventing key employees from joining competitors, New Brunswick courts will evaluate each agreement on its facts. The province's bilingual character and proximity to Quebec and the U.S. border can factor into geographic scope considerations.
SignAI generates your New Brunswick non-compete with the right legal language automatically — in English or French as appropriate — including compliance with Supreme Court of Canada standards, precise geographic and temporal definitions, properly identified proprietary interests, and consideration provisions aligned with New Brunswick contract law.

FAQ
Yes, under common law reasonableness standards. New Brunswick follows the Supreme Court of Canada's framework, requiring that non-competes protect a legitimate proprietary interest and be reasonable in scope, duration, and geography. Courts are generally skeptical and enforce non-competes only when clearly justified.
There is no statutory cap. Courts evaluate reasonableness, generally favouring one year or less for employment non-competes. Shorter restrictions are more likely to be upheld.
New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province. Non-compete agreements should be available in both English and French to ensure clarity and enforceability for bilingual employees. Ambiguity in language — in either language — can be fatal under the Shafron framework.
For new hires, the employment constitutes consideration. For existing employees, fresh consideration — such as a raise, promotion, or bonus — is generally required.
Yes. New Brunswick courts generally view non-solicitation agreements more favourably as the less restrictive alternative. Where non-solicitation can protect the employer's interests, courts are less likely to enforce a broader non-compete.
