Is a non-compete contract enforceable in New York State?
I am in sales and I signed a non-compete contract when I started with a company which is not based in New York State. I am considering going to a competitor, but no one will hire me if the contract is enforceable. Is there a way to get out of it?

The Sure Way
The only sure way of determining whether a particular non-compete agreement is enforceable before potentially violating the agreement by going to work for a competitor of your employer, is to start a declaratory judgment action. The aim of a declaratory judgment action is to determine the rights of the various parties involved in a particular situation.
