Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
I personally signed a non-compete clause many years ago for the company I am currently employed with. My question is, if a family member starts a similar business model, one in which my personal name has no attachment can my employer still attempt litigation against myself or the newly established company? I am assuming that because my name has no attachment then there is no legal justification.

Look at your non compete; they vary. Florida generally enforces them if not unconscionable: Patently unfair or overreaching. Read the restrictions, or have an attorney review the agreement. Your answers lie in the non compete agreement.
Probably not, but the only way for an attorney to tell you for sure is by reviewing the agreement. Regards,
