Leaving a startup as a co-founding member. But now team members are trying to force a non-compete on me. Am I legally required to sign it?
Alright, but what if I have already signed a non-compete agreement and now I want to work for a competitor?
If you have already signed a non-compete agreement, you may be legally bound to comply with its terms. However, this will depend on the specific language of the non-compete, as well as the laws of the state in which the non-compete was signed. Again, it may be advisable to speak with a lawyer if you're uncertain about your rights and obligations under the agreement.
