Our client, a salesman, was sued by his former employer who claimed that he had violated his non-compete agreement by using confidential information to unfairly compete. The damages sought exceeded $500,000. After a temporary injunction was granted against our client and his new employer, we employed a strategy that focused on attacking the enforceability of the non-compete provision by taking depositions of customers which showed that our client had acquired his knowledge of the industry and customers before joining the former employer and that he was not using any information that qualified as confidential information to compete for customers. The claim against our client was eventually dismissed, with our client paying nothing in settlement.
