- In Arizona, restrictive covenants must protect a legitimate business interest and must not restrict more than is reasonably necessary to protect those interests. See Restrictive Covenants.
- Arizona has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which protects employers against disclosure of their proprietary information. See Trade Secrets.
