In my business it’s a huge thing and often the make or break of an associate contract. So often, I’ve seen judges toss out an RC if it is too extended, too much of a financial liability on the employee or just plain absurdly large geographically in a non-compete clause. And it’s in the contract. I’ve whipped up several contracts where an attorney has said, that’s too far, too restrictive and if you put it in the contract, if it ever becomes an issue, it’ll get thrown out. Again, it’s in a signed contract, yet the judge rules it basically to be too much, too restrictive, and too financially hurtful to the signing party. Could the GOR not be viewed in the same light? The length of this thing, considering the changes that occur in such little time in CFB is patently absurd (thanks idiots who signed it). Could a judge see it as too damaging and toss it as well or is that apples and oranges?
