What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Maryland, but the conversation will happen in Virginia.
I need to meet with an employer in order to negotiate payment working for them as an independent contractor.
According to an employment contract that I have signed with a previous employer, I am obligated to assist this new employer for 60 days as long as the compensation is similar to what I was getting before. Although, it is unlikely that the old employer will be able to enforce the contract (for various reasons), I would like to side-step the whole issue and have a 1-on-1 conversation with the CEO of the new company without worrying that what I am saying will be recorded and used against me at a later time.
Is it possible to do this? How should I go about setting this up? I'm not opposed to hiring a lawyer for help, just need a point in the right direction to know where to start looking.
Thanks!
