Legal Question in Employment Law in Minnesota
I have a non-compete with a company and I called another company in the industry about work today and they informed me my previous company contacted them and informed them I have a non-compete for a year and they can't hire me if I contact them. Is this Legal for them to contact companies like that?

First- you should have an experienced business attorney review the agreement and the facts surrounding its execution to determine if it is valid and enforceable.
Then- if it is valid, the circumstances surrounding the communication should be reviewed.
If the communication was truthful and the agreement valid, they may be on solid ground.
Otherwise- you may have an action vs. former/current employer.
Call or email for free consultation.
You should have your agreement reviewed by an attorney and discuss the full details of what occurred as to the situation you described with a competitor. Tricia Dwyer Esq at 612-296-9666 Tricia Dwyer Esq & Assoc PLLC Employment Law Attorney
