NonCompete

Hello, I am a resident of Texas, working as a consultant for a Minnesota firm. I was previously engaged on a project in Raleigh, NC. I would like to go work for this company in NC, However, due to a non-compete I cannot. Do I have any recourse if my current employer will not let me out of the one year non-compete clause?

Non-Compete

You should consult an attorney to determine whether the non-compete agreement that you signed is enforceable. Your lawyer would need to review the agreement and try to determine what law would apply to the contract and then review that state's laws to determine whether the non-compete is enforceable. The laws differ from state to state, but it is not at all uncommon for employers to have employees sign non-competes that do not comply with state laws.
