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?
That's good to know. But what if the team members are threatening to sue me if I don't sign it?
If the team members are making empty threats or if the non-compete is not enforceable, then you may not need to sign it at all. However, if you are concerned about the potential for litigation or if you're unsure about the enforceability of the non compete, it may be wise to consult with a lawyer.
