Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona

Thank you for the inquiry. Forming a limited liability company through which to provide services will not assist you avoid the consequences of a non-compete. If the services you provide do not compete with those your former employer provided, you won't have a problem. If your employer perceives there is competition, the L.L.C. will not provide any sort of shield. The only difference the L.L.C. would make is that the employer would, rather than simply suing you for an alleged breach of the non-compete agreement, also bring suit against the L.L.C.

The real issue will be the precise terms of the non-compete agreement. As your posting suggests, the services you provide will also be of critical importance.
