Re: No compete clause

Hard to tell without reviewing the clause itself. Such clauses must be reasonable and generally (to repeat: generally) if the employee is involuntarily discharged from the position the employee may be able to be released from it.

But, the language of the clause would be important.

Here is a link to some articles on Findlaw discussing noncompete agreements:
