I worked with a company for 7 months and signed a non-compete agreement. I quit the job and after 1 month before my agreement would be over they called and wanted me back.i took the job and signed another non compete. After i started working, my job description completely changed and now i’ve been offered a job by another employer to do what my existing company hired me to do which is be a shop manager.Now they have me on the road as a salesman.Is there anyway to get out of this agreement since they have changed my job description. Its obvious they re-hired me so i couldnt go to work anywhere else. they get me to sign a new agreement and then i’m stuck for 2 more years. thanks

Being accused of violating a non-compete agreement

I recently received a letter from my former employer’s attorney stating that they have information that I am working for XYZ Company and that I am violating the terms of my non-complete contract.

I am NOT employed by anyone and not entirely sure why they have reason to believe that I am. They are demanding that I return to them everything that I have in my possession – all I have is a ball-point pen that was given to me as a gift.

Do I need to do anything? I tried to contact both my former supervisor as well as the attorney and neither have returned my phone call. I do not want to ruffle any feathers, but I also do not want to end up in court over something that is obviously untrue.

I have a non-compete contract from a company that i had worked for. The contract pays me over 4 years for not competing over those 4 years. I’ve filed chapter 7 bankruptcy. Are those future payments to me “exempt” under bankruptcy law or not. In other words does the trustee get the payments or do I?

If a CA company enters bankruptcy are the non-compete agreements null and void? If an employee stays for over a year to help the company, with all the uncertainty, and ends up leaving is the non-compete void?

I was working at a company that had me sign a non-compete/contract agreement that would last a year if I decided to ever leave the company. The company recently filed for bankruptcy. The company was turned over to a receiver and the receiver brokered a deal to sell the company. The group that bought the company also bought the non-compete agreements/contracts

Is my non-compete still active or did it become null and void when the company filed for bankruptcy?

I have recently left a company I was working with for 15 months. The business itself is owned by a lawyer ( he has had disciplinary action taken against him by the bar, yet still able to practice law) and at first things seemed on the up and up. I was laid off because of the economy and horrible business practices. He continues to charge the customers credit cards, refuses to talk to them after making promises and false statements, and then would not send the products. He continues to have severe financial problems. I want to start up my own company and I know many states have a law called the Uniform Secrets Trade Act. While working there I was the go to, talk to guy. How can I legally contact my former customers. My business will sell the same products, just under a different name. I just want to be sure that the process is legal. Please advise.

Unsure of noncompete scenario

I have joined a new company recently and as a business development professional, I have convinced a client who I had engaged with my previous firm to follow me with his project. To the best of my knowledge, I had not signed any non-compete agreement, and the subject wasn’t discussed during my separation when I resigned. Is there any vulnerability to any non-compete litigation?
