# Anti-Poaching Clauses
These employment contract terms act on you *after* you leave employment, making it illegal to:
- **Hire or approach your ex-colleagues**.
- **Steal clients or contacts** - do business with clients or people you've had contact with while representing your previous employer.
This is typically for a fixed period (e.g. 6 months) after you leave.
These are similar to [[Non-Compete Clauses]] - see that page for some discussion of the effects.
