Legal Question in Employment Law in California
conflict waiver letter
I have a job offer pending a ''conflict of interest'' waiver letter from my current employer, ''A''. ''B'' and ''C'' are in a litigation dispute now. I work for A who represents C. B wants to hire me (not the attorneys) but the actual client B. I have not worked or touched the case at my current firm. Can my employer refuse to give me a waiver? waiver.

Re: conflict waiver letter
Not quite sure I follow the facts, but generally speaking, an employee cannot require a current or former employer to waive a conflict of interest claim any more than they can require them to give a good reference.
If the actions of the employer are tantamount to a tortious interference with contractual relations or a covenant not to compete, there may be legal remedies, but it doesn't appear that is what you are presenting here.
These are complex cases and probably best served by reviewing the specifics of your situation with an experienced employment law attorney in your area.
