Allowed if reasonable

Non-compete law in Alaska

Alaska has no statute that specifically regulates employee noncompete agreements. The only statutory hook located is the general rule that every contract in restraint of trade or commerce is unlawful (AS 45.50.562); noncompetes are tested under common-law reasonableness. No 2025-2026 bill on noncompetes appears in the 34th Legislature bill list (title search).
