Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, � For every question, there is an answer that is simple, neat and wrong. ---

Non-compete agreements are enforceable to the extent a court will regard them to be "reasonable." Each such case is decided on its own merits and there are several criteria courts used to determine whether the restriction is, in fact, reasonable. I routinely represent clients in such matters. But, a meaningful analysis cannot be undertaken in a brief email exchange. Please feel free to contact me to explore your circumstances.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

What the real answer is, is that you need to get the agreement looked at by a lawyer who knows what he/she is doing.

I agree with both authors. Without reading what you signed may make any response purely speculative. Just being out of work, in itself, does not make a valid agreement unenforceable.
