Hi,
I started working with a consulting firm 2 years back and have been working at a client site. The client has now offered me a full time position with them. The problem is 2 years back when I was joining my consulting firm - I had signed a "No Conflict Agreement" which stated that for a duration of 1 year after leaving my consulting firm I cannot work for the Client or need to compensate my consulting firm with 1 years salary. I also recently found out that my consulting firm had also signed a contract with the client stating that - the Client can get me full time on board with them once I complete 6 months of work with the client. My questions are
1. Is the contract I have signed with my employer valid - I was reading up on some state labor laws which state that any contract which prohibits fair trade, work etc in this state is held void. Is my contract hence void ?
2. Isnt there a conflict with the 2 contracts my employer got signed ?
Please help, I need to know what kind of legal action I can file or can expect. I basically need to know what side of the law I am on.
Thanks!!
