Legal Question in Business Law in California
Non-Disclosure Agreements
If a person has signed a non-disclosure agreement which lists " supplier, customer, employee, investor, or business information" as Confidential Information, can a former employee of that company subsequently work for a former customer of that company or is the company able to prohibit the business relationship? I am especially interested in how this question can be answered in light of CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE 16600 which says �every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void.�

Whether the trade secret agreement is enforceable depends upon the circumstances. For a $75.00 phone consultation, please call 1-800-677-1010. Keith Knochel. [email protected].
Re: Non-Disclosure Agreements
non-disclosure agreements are generally valid but they cannot stop you from working for another company of any kind. As long as you dont disclose confidential information you can work for anyone.
