Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: non-compete

Too many questions to answer without reference to your documents. What does your noncompete say. Normally, whether you quit or oare fired the non-compete still applies but there are many defefnses to enforcement. The lanagugage of the severance agreemeent will determine whether or not they releasesed you from the noncompete. Call or e-mail me to discuss further.

Re: non-compete

The law surrounding non-compete agreements is very complicated, and it depends on the particular circumstances of each case. For example, it depends on the length of time of the restraint, as well as the geographic scope. The fact that the separation agreement does not mention is a factor that weighs in your favor, however it is not dispositive.

I would be happy to answer any additional questions you might have, or to review your paperwork. I have handled non-compete agreements for both employers and employees.
