metadata.value: This review article is devoted to restrictive covenants, which are widely used in contracts between
  entrepreneurs and their employees in many countries. In Russia, these covenants are
  not supported by the courts. It is believed that such restrictions are contrary to the constitutional
  and other norms of Russian law. The purpose of this study is to analyze the foundations
  of legal regulation in a number of countries of such restrictive covenants as non-competition
  agreements, non-solicitation agreements, non-dealing agreements and non-disclosure agreements.
  This analysis is necessary for a reasonable answer to the question of the advisability
  of recognizing in Russia the legality of such agreements. The first part of this article provides
  an overview of the law on non-competition and other similar covenants of the United
  Kingdom and the United States, in the second part — Germany, France, Japan, China and
  the Eurasian Economic Union. In jurisdictions where non-competition agreements and other
  similar restrictive covenants are not prohibited, the “rule of reason” acts as a legal mechanism
  for balancing the competing interests of employers, employees and public interests. This rule
  allows the courts in each specific dispute to assess the specified conditions for their compliance
  with the protected business interest of the employer and other criteria. The conclusion
  is made about the advisability of legalizing agreements on non-competition, non-engagement
  and non-entrepreneurship in Russia, taking into account the positive foreign experience of
  legal regulation in this area. In this regard, it will be necessary to legislate in Russian law an
  analogue of the rule of reason.
