What can my husband do about the non-compete clause he signed since he has been offered a new job?
Full Question:
My husband signed a non competition clause at his place of employment. When he signed it he assumed it was to be a year from the time that he signed it. Now he has been offered a position with a competitor. His current employer states it is from the time of termination. He never recieved a copy of this contract after signing it. How can he go about getting around the contract?

Answer:
The enforceability of the contract depends on its terms. Courts often allow non-compete ageeemnts to be enforced if they interpret the restrictions for time and area covered to be reasonable. Please see the information at the following link:
