  5. Reco Equip. v. Wilson

    No. 20-4312 (6th Cir. Oct. 28, 2021)   Cited 16 times   1 Legal Analyses
    In RECO Equip., Inc. v. Wilson, No. 20-4312, 2021 WL 5013816, at *2-3 (6th Cir. Oct. 28, 2021), the Sixth Circuit recently found that the plaintiff failed to carry its burden to establish that the non-compete agreement was reasonable, and therefore, enforceable.

    The enforceability of Wilson's noncompete agreement turns on whether it is "reasonable." Chi. Title Ins. Corp. v. Magnuson, 487 F.3d 985, 990 (6th Cir. 2007). A noncompete agreement is reasonable under Ohio law if it satisfies three factors.
