Your Non-Compete Agreement Might Not Be As Enforceable as You Think
The Client
An individual who was starting his own company. This individual was taking his own clients with him to launch a business competitive with that of his previous employer.
The Problem
Our client received a letter from his prior employer alleging that our client was in violation of the non-solicitation provisions in the non-compete the client had signed with that employer.
Action Taken and Result
We examined the non-solicitation provision at issue, concluded it was likely unenforceable under New York law, and drafted a comprehensive letter to that effect to the former employer’s attorney. We were then able to negotiate a favorable settlement for our client that enabled him to move forward with his new business and maintain his client relationships.
