What are my restrictions for accepting a new employment position if my employer required me to sign a covenant not to compete?
A. Carefully read the language of your employment agreement to determine any geographic, temporal and/or business restrictions placed upon you as a departing employee. A covenant not to compete may be subject to legal challenge and held to be not binding on you in a new employment position if it is not narrowly tailored and reasonable in scope.
