It sounds like you have a non-compete agreement with the company for which you are working. In Maryland, non-compete agreements are valid, but they are also closely scrutinized and narrowly enforced. Before you leave the company, you should have a lawyer review the agreement to determine to what extent, if any, the agreement can be enforced against you. Feel free to contact me (240.380.0863 or [email protected]) if you would like to discuss.
