Non-compete agreement enforcable ?

[d27m11k]

Here's my story

Employer: X

Vendor: Y

Client Z

I have a non-compete agreement with my company X that prohibits direct or indirect employment with client or vendor for 1 year after termination. I received an EAD (as a dependent) and vendor Y wants to employ me directly. Importantly, Vendor Y also has recently secured a separate, independent agreement with my company X stating that they are OK to hire me when I joined the Client.

Is a non-compete agreement enforceable in this case?

Talk to attorney instead of people's opinion.

=>In my view non-compete agreement is still enforceable. Please consult an appropriate attorney.

Non-compete agreements are generally enforceable, except in California, where the CA Supreme Court has ruled them non-enforceable.
