What it does
Existing law voids contractual provisions by which a person is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind, except as otherwise provided. Existing case law, as established in the case of Edwards v. Arthur Andersen LLP (2008) 44 Cal.4th 937, interprets this provision to void noncompete agreements in an employment context and noncompete clauses within employment contracts, even if that agreement is narrowly tailored, unless an exception applies.
