Westwood Non-Compete Agreements: What UCLA Health Professionals Should Know

Healthcare professionals at UCLA Health in Westwood are often asked to sign non-compete agreements that appear restrictive.

Under California’s Business and Professions Code 16600, most non-competes are void and unenforceable. Despite that, many physicians, administrators, and medical executives limit their career moves out of fear of litigation.

Before rejecting a competing offer or resigning, it is important to understand what is actually enforceable, including NDAs and certain non-solicitation clauses. California law strongly protects career mobility in healthcare.
