Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Non-Complete Clause

I can not definitely answer your question without looking at the document that you are talking about, and finding out a lot more.

your friend certainly has the right to work and earn a living, and the boss can not 'run her out of town'. A judge will be reluctant to put your friend out of work. that is not the whole answer to your question, though.

you do not need a witness for a contract to be binding.

what this document says, and how it is said, will be important. your friend may want to consult an attorney near her, and get some advice.

Disclaimer: Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.
