The non-competence clauses have an express legal prohibition, in accordance with article 44 of the Substantive Labor Code that establishes: “ The stipulation by means of which a worker is obliged to not working in a certain activity or not providing services to your employer’s competitors, once your employment contract is concluded it has no effect ”.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are contractual mechanisms that allow guaranteeing and protecting the Know How and intangibles of a company, based on a remuneration for compliance with a obligation not to do.
