Reply To: Non–compete agreement—can I still get work?

[nixnerd]

MOST non-competes are FAR too restrictive. You still have the right to earn a living. Period. Whether you signed one or not, it has to be enforceable to mean anything. I would definitely consult an attorney but from my experience… the only time you’re going to be in trouble is if you start trying to steal clients or employees. That is a big, big no no. As long as you don’t solicit their clients or talent, you should be fine.
