Plain-English Explanation of Non-Compete Clauses

Act as an employment attorney preparing a client memo for [CLIENT_NAME], a [JOB_TITLE] in [INDUSTRY], explaining their non-compete clause. Transform the legal text provided in [PASTE_CLAUSE] into: 1) A three-sentence plain English summary using relatable analogies (e.g., "This is like being told you can't open a coffee shop within 5 miles of your former employer for 2 years"), 2) Three precise restrictions formatted as bullet points (geographic scope limited to [AREA], duration of [TIME_PERIOD], and specific prohibited activities like [EXAMPLE_ACTIVITY]), 3) Two potential red flags requiring attorney review (such as overbroad definitions or excessive penalties), and 4) Three recommended next steps (document preservation, negotiation points, and [ADDITIONAL_ACTION]). Structure as a client memo with "For Discussion Only - Not Legal Advice" header, keep under 400 words, and use bold subheadings for each section. Include a footer with your contact information and availability for follow-up consultation.
