mid-vendor sued me and my new employer

[kalpenr]

I work in a company A (H1B EMPLOYER) through mid vendor B, direct vendor( to client) C and work for end client D

A(H1B)--->B(mid vendor)--->C(direct vendor)--->D(end client)

mid vendor B arranged my work at client D and the owner of B is also a contractor at D and hence he has all control on the salary and hence he harrasses me on onsite work location.

I complained to client D and hence client D agreed to move me to a different vendor V. Hence I moved my H1b to vendor V and started working.

Now ex mid vendor B has sued me and company V for lost of revenue, breaking of contract, and has appealed the court that i should not be allowed to work at client D through any other company. Claimed compensation for the revenue loss and attorney fees too.

I have not signed any contract/non compete with A, B and C but my H1B company A must have signed a contract with B which I am not aware of but it doesn't have my signature.

Please advise where i stand. I am going to hire an attorney too.

Is B your employer ? Or are you self-employed? Who signed the contract with B? Determine that first. Contracts are enforceable depending upon the terms involved. Only attorneys can give you the best advice on this.

B is not my employer, its a mid vendor. A is my employer who sponsored my H1B. A signed a contract with B. I did not sign anything.
