Is the noncompete clause in alabama enforceable.  I heard it is not and need to know if it is true?

Covenants not to compete are usually enforceable, but they must be reasonable in all respects.  I have no knowledge of an outright ban on non-compete clauses in AL.  I do not practice there, but it would be unusual for a state to disallow them completely.\n\nGenerally, to be valid, these clauses must be reasonable with respect to time and geograpic limitations.  For example, a noncompete clause for a pest control company in AL will probably not be allowed to bar your working for another pest control company in California.  In addition, it would probably not be valid if it sought to prevent your working in the industry for the next 20 years.  You get the idea.\n\nNo one wants to hear this, but your best bet (and probably your only reasonable recourse) is to speak to an attorney in your area about this.  I can give you the general propositions of law with respect to these agreements, but I cannot and I do not advise you with respect to your specific situation.\n\nHope this is helpful.  Good luck.

As long as the contract is legal and binding (for example, the parties involved were of legal age to enter into a contract), then yes, the transaction is done and either party can be sued for non-performance or breach of contract if needed. \n\nThe above is of my opinion based on my experience and knowledge as a California real estate mortgage broker and investor. I suggest you seek legal advice from a lawyer who specializes in real estate law.\n\nRegards...

generally speaking,  non-compete agreements with unreasonable constraints on employment will not be enforced\n\nFor the most part, employers use these things to scare the shit out of people ... unfortunately, the often succeed\n\nMost employers will not spend the time and money to enforce in any case .... yes, there are exceptions but normally it simply isn't worth it ...

I disagree. I my experince. Reason people break the rule is becuase they cant win any other way. Ponder this thow rules are ristrictions enacted and enforced by individuals or private comp. ect. laws are differrent. Laws are inacted by Legislative body or gov. entity. Now im going to get deep with you. No one can enact or enforce rules that conflict with laws set by the gov. body. So most of the time no one is really breaking any rule because they confict with gov. laws. most of the time

Just Alabama.  States don't recognize other states CCW laws.  Check at NRA.com to be sure.

I am a third year law student. What's the question? If you are asking if this is a possibility, it is. Consult a lawyer. It's called forum non conviens.

I suggest looking up either Alabama law or the city ordinances in teh city where the issues are occuring. I do not believe there are any County laws.

yes it is possible they can win that case because you signed the contract. It is known as a covenant not to compete contract.Sorry

When he sold you the business and you did not have a none competition clause in the sales agreement or a fiduciary clause then you are out of luck...me personally, I prefer to have my competition next door..then I can keep an eye on them...it is healthy biz strategy...obviously your brother knows he made a mistake....advertise and use your obvious higher quality business strategy to sell more and get more customers than him...there is only so much business to go around in that field...get more than your fair share and your brother will be gone eventually

No. If it is  aprivate agreement betwen the parties there is no problem at all, however, if the tennant will require housing benefit to pay for the tenancy seek immediate assistance with this from either the local citzens advice beurea or the Welfare rights officer at the local social work office. \n\nThe answer is that there is no problem with this at all, however, many local authorties take a dim view on this and disallow any claims to housing benefit on the basis that it is either "a non commercial tennacy" (regulation 9 1(A) HB Regs 2006) or that the tenancy was "contrived to take advantage of the housing benefit scheme" (Reg 9(1)(L) HB Regs 2006), so if Housing benefit figures in this agreement then seek advice, if not then it is not a problem at all

It is not legal in any of the states of the U S but that does not mean a thing. The key is enforcement and there is very little.

Whoever advised you to register a second LLC in Alabama did not know what they were talking about. You could have registered in Alabama as a foreign LLC for $75 which would have allowed your Georgia LLC to operate there. A second LLC is essentially a second legal entity that probably will need an EIN.\n\nIf you want to make your life easier, scrap the Alabama LLC and register your Georgia one as a foreign LLC.

I wouldn't look to the elastic clause for either of these.  The Louisiana Purchase would fall under article 2, second 2, presidential power to make treaties and the excise tax would fall under article 1, second 2, the power of congress to direct taxes.\n\nOn the other hand, I'm curious how homeland security can tape your phone without a warrant just because they suspect you of something.  I haven't found where that clause is yet.

The statute of frauds says that a contract regarding the sale of land must be in writing to be enforceable.  That means that a verbal agreement is useless if one party or the other wants to not go through with it,  but would be enough if both parties wanted to. \nSo, there is no contract to enforce. The only thing you could do is go to court to get damages for the money you spent in reasonable anticipation of this contract happening, but you might not get that.
