Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: former employee working on own now

You can market and sell to whomever would be your customer, so long as you don't out-and-out steal your former employer's client list (which they probably regard as trade secret information).

Better make ABSOLUTELY SURE there is no noncompete agreement in place, though; they can hide among the pile of papers that get signed at the first day and the last day of a job. If one did get by you, you should abide as much as possible to its terms.

Good luck.
