Validity of Non-Compete
Non-compete provisions in employment situations are generally disfavored by court in New York State, but whether a particular non-compete will be enforced depends on the facts. It is a fairly particularized assessment, depending on the wording of the agreement, the nature of the job, the nature and competitiveness of the industry or market sector involved, the circumstances under which the employee left the employer, and potentially other details.
Call me or another attorney to have your specific circumstances reviewed in detail.
