How to obtain a release for non-complete agreement
My potential new job has a contingency on obtaining a release of their companies name from my present employers non-compete agreement. New position will be in a completely different market (Aerospace) that present employer (Industrial Distribution) will not venture into because of liability concerns. I would like to know best method to request this release and would a judge rule in favor of this agreement based on two different markets. My livelihood and support of my family depends on this name release. All other companies named can remain for the terms of agreement.

To satisfy your new employer, you will have to reach out to the old employer and get the release or at least blessing to work for this new employer. This is often easily accomplished provided the old employer is satisfied you are not working for a competitor and/or taking its business away. You will need a lawyer who can work this through with the old employer. Reach out to someone of your own choosing and best of luck.

Would want to see the terms of the non compete agreement and ask questions about what types of training and information you received while working for old company. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss further.
