Legal Question in Business Law in California

Non-Compete, Non-Disclosure agreements

Hi I recently quit a company whose business practice is to book vacation rentals for clients.

I recently received a letter asking me to cease and desist, etc. They indicated i'd signed an agreement to not compete, etc. My question is: a client that i brought on to the company when i worked for it asked me to handle vacation rentals after i left the company. What does the law state when it comes to this and how long would i have to ''not compete'' if its enforceable.

Thanks,

don

Re: Non-Compete, Non-Disclosure agreements

This really depends on the specifics of the non compete. California, in general, does not like non compete agreements. However, if it is limited in scope it may be enforceable. The only way to tell is to review it.

The other option would be to ignore it but that could bring on a lawsuit that could be avoided. Contact me if I can help you with this any further.
