When does a non-compete terminate?
For 6 years until about 2 years ago, I worked for a company during which time I was forced to sign an agreement that said I couldn’t compete for 24 months and or within 75 miles of the protected area. In the begining of last year I left the company and worked for another company that was unrelated but unfortunately the opportunity failed and I returned to the original company as a new employee. When I was re-hired I didn’t sign a non-compete. Since I terminated my original employment and began a new employment, am I still under a non-compete or free of the non-compete?

Hello. The starting point is to read the written agreement terms. State law and other law will govern as well. Confer with an attorney licensed in your state as to your personal legal issues. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will speak initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in a limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
