I'm not a lawyer and am positing this only for discussion purposes and not legal advice:
Contractor agrees that during Contractor’s engagement with Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of Contractor’s engagement with Company, Contractor will not directly attempt in any manner to solicit from any of the clients or customers of Company which Contractor is/was engaged or whose information or details are being/were shared with the Contractor, business of the type performed by Contractor for Company or to persuade any client or customer of Company to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which any such client or customer has customarily done or actively contemplates doing with Company.
Isn't that a non-poaching clause rather than a non-compete clause? Usually non-competes say something about not working FOR competitors / in the same industry for X months after termination.

Something like this will work, thanks.
