Restraint Of Trade Question

[jamesverkerk]

Hi All,

I have a question i hope someone could answer.
I worked for a previous company, lets call them Company A. They made me sign a restrict of trade. During my time working there, we signed Client A.

I then moved jobs to Company B. And Client A asked us to quote on services. We did, and Company A moved over to us.
I want to point out that Client A was working with Company B prior to Company A signing them across.

I have now recieved a letter from a lawyer stating that they wont take action this time, but in the future they could if the same thing happened (which i totally understand.)

Am i at all right in saying, i didnt do anything wrong as the client was previously working with Company B ?

You need to tell us what state this hypothetical situation is taking place in.

"Restrict of trade" is an odd term in US situations. Are you even in the US?

We can't read your contract with company A so we can't tell you if what you're doing is actionable in whatever hypothetical place this is taking place in.
