Re: Non-compete agreement
Under Florida law, non-competition agreements are generally enforceable as long as they are reasonably limited in length and scope. For example, an agreement of only one (1) year is presumptively reasonable, assuming a reasonable geographic restriction, such as fifty (50) miles from the former employment site.
If you can provide more specific details of your non-compete, I would be happy to provide additional advice. Please also feel free to contact my office directly at (305) 810-2887.
Re: Non-compete agreement
An attorney would have to read the agreement before giving an opinion. There mere fact you were fired, in and of itself, does not make the agreement invalid.
