Legal Question in Technology Law in New York

Re: documents

Several things govern the answers to the questions you pose: the stock purchase agreement (or whatever agreement exists that covered the sale of the business -- including any integrated ancillary documents that may exist such as proxies, voting trusts, shareholder agreements, non-disclosure/compete agreements, etc.); any stand-alone non-competes or non-disclosures; the laws governing fiduciary duties and fraud, etc. In order to give a comprehensive answer -- and to address the unwritten question concerning any potential liability for you (since you sold the business that seems to be central to the question you pose) -- would require a review of all the facts of the case. You may wish to contact my office or another attorney.
