How Florida treats the clauseEnforced if reasonable

Florida is employer-friendly: a written non-compete protecting a legitimate business interest is presumed enforceable, and courts may not weigh hardship to the employee. Up to two years is presumptively reasonable. The 2025 CHOICE Act allows garden-leave non-competes of up to four years for high earners but expressly excludes licensed health care practitioners, so dentists remain under the two-year framework.
