This discussion addresses the legality of a company implementing a 5-year non-compete agreement with its subcontractors. The agreement aims to prevent subcontractors from doing business directly or indirectly with the company's clients and includes a penalty for breaches. The consensus is that such agreements are legally valid and are recognised as non-compete clauses, which can include associated fees.
