Non-Solicitation Agreement Florida

Having signed a non-soliciation agreement for a new company, is there any loopholes to this? i.e. If the customer fires my employer and wants to use me for the service instead or they are using my employer for thier business needs but would like my personal service at thier home?

We would have to read the contract to know how well it was written.

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

I am guessing you truly mean a non compete agreement. If so, the agreements are enforceable if they are not unreasonable. Most courts will certainly find that taking one of the customers of your old company is certainly a violation. Be extremely careful because the penalties can range from a simple injunction to financial.

You should consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your planned behavior with a review of the specific non-competition/solicitation. Such agreements can be valid and enforceable, but must still follow some guidelines. A review by an attorney is in your best interests.
