metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This review article is devoted to restrictive covenants, which are widely used in contracts be tween 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 agree ments, 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 recogniz ing 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 (EAEU). Due to the particularly widespread distribution of such covenants in the United 
  States, the analysis of the foundations of their legal regulation in this country is central to the 
  present study. 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 advisabil ity 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.
