Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Business Law

I worked as contract labor with out signing any ''no competition agreement'' and now work on my own. I have bid some jobs from last employer cheaper than he was charging the customer. Besides it being a bit unethical am I violating his rights or do I have right of free enterprise??

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you did not sign any agreements not to compete, then you are probably within your rights to bid against your former employer. This not guarantee that the former employer will not try to stop you by filing suit against you. It will be the former employer's burden to prove any allegations that are brought.
