Hi, 
 

I work for a implementation partner1 through vendor <AAA> and implementation partner provides services to client.  Now i got an offer from different implementation partner 2 to work for client. I accepted the offer and vendor<AAA> came to know about it and threatening me of legal issues.

Current working layers     Employer >> <AAA> >> Implementation Partner 1 >> Client

New working layers   Employer >> Implementation Partner 2 >> Client

Will there be any legal issues from <AAA> if i move to New Working layers. Me or my employer did not sign any agreement/doc for Implementation partner 1.

Below is the agreement between Employer and <AAA>. Now <AAA> is threatening me of legal issue if I work for client through different implementation partner 2. In the worked order vendor <AAA> mentioned client name as Implementation Partner 1. He didn't mentioned anywhere in the document or in the worked order about client name.
