Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Possible but there are real potential problems. You need to plan this with an attorney near you who does business and corporate law, and who has represented independent contractors in fights with the employing consulting company. You may want to set it up so that you can clearly prove they are in breach, and then take action to get away from them and work for the customer. But you need legal advice first, so they can not successfully sue you!

I have seen this situation before. I may be able to help you but I need to review your contract before I can tell for sure. A lot depends on the wording of the non-competition clause. Call or email and we can get something going for you.

If you have an employment contract then you may be able to sue. However, the schedule of increases may also be subject to performance milestones or other conditions.

In addition, be mindful that you may have signed a non-compete with the consultancy firm and the customer may have signed a non-solicitation agreements which would preclude the two of you from working together directly. This is definitely something that an attorney should review.
