no non-compete

[KP72]

Live in NJ, My company's HQ is in GA.

I work for a small private consulting firm and never signed a non-compete agreement. At this company I have mainly worked for 1 client. I am considering leaving my company and want to continue to do work with my existing client as an independent consultant. The follow-on work that I would most likely do as an independent would technically be considered a new project, but is directly related to the work I am currently doing. Are there any legal ramifications for this?

Thanks,

How the heck should we know?

Listen, if you work for a reputable consulting firm then you signed a contract. Take it out and read it. You don't have to sign a separate non-compete to be held to the terms of the contract.

And if I don't miss my guess, you will be limited in terms of for whom you can work after leaving the consulting firm.
