Any MT lawyers willing to help me out with a Non-Solicitation agreement? I'm about to make a move to a competitive company managing the same customer that I'm currently managing and they offer a competitive product. The difference is that with my current company, said customer buys about $50k worth. WIth the new company, said customer purchases about $80mil. Based on what i've read, there wouldn't be any problem because i'm not "soliciting" the customer to buy more of the same product, they already are buying it. My current company has 7,000 products of which only a very small portion (like 5 products) are similar to the company that I would be going to. Would not mind sending my agreement to someone via email if they wanted to really help me out.

Thanks MT.

I don't see a problem ($1000 per week customer)

But, I would check with the new employer's HR/attorney dept. for a look-see.

Most lawyers won't be comfortable giving legal advice over an internet forum (so the following is NOT legal advice). If I were you I'd take a copy of my employment agreement with the old company to the new company's HR or legal department for a once over. If they say you're good to service the same client's account, ask them if their insurance will defend and indemnify you should your old employer file suit. The enforceability of those agreements vary wildly state by state and in many cases even within states. Be sure you have your arse covered by the new employer and that you won't be funding your defense out of your 401k. Again, NOT legal advice.
