A non-solicitation agreement which is sometimes referred to as an ‘anti-piracy agreement’ is an agreement by an employee not to solicit the customers or clients of his former employer for a set period of time after his employment commitment ends.  Alpha Tax Servs., Inc. V. Stuart, 158 Ariz. 169, 171 (Ct. App. 1988)    An employer may not enforce a post-employment restrictive covenant simply to eliminate competition per se. The limitations placed by a restrictive covenant on a former employee’s competitive activities are carefully scrutinized by the courts.  A restrictive covenant which generally prohibits competition is too broad because all that is reasonably necessary is to protect the former employer from solicitation of its customers.  The burden is on the party wishing to enforce the covenant to demonstrate int that the restraint is no greater than necessary to protect the employer’s legitimate interests and such hardship is not outweighed by the hardship to the employee and the likely injury to the public.    Valley Medical Specialists, 194 Ariz. 363, 372, 982 P.2d 1277, 1286
