Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois
Non compete agreement
I worked as an independant,
captured agent for an insurance
company. I was not an employee.
The company insists that a non
compete agreement was part of the
contract signed to work as their
agent. The company terminated my
agreement in March of 2007. In
October I decided to come back to
Illinois and work as an independant
agent. Is a non compete enforceable
in this situation. All of my research
deals with non competes between
employers and employees.

Re: Non compete agreement
A no-compete between an employer and an employee is a contractual (sometimes enforceable -sometimes not) agreement: a no-compete between independent entities (you and the ins.co.) may be an enforceable contract as well. In fact it is more likely to be enforceable -� BUT in any case ALL no-competes need to be reviewed for the specific language contained therein and the relation of that language to the facts of the relationship between the enitities and the marketplace. You need to have the co-compete looked at by an employment lawyer. You may have to litigate.
