Hi,
So currently exiting from a company whereby I have a contract that has “post termination clauses” in place.
This has been put on this forum before but my question is slightly different and potentially “obvious”?
I have no restrictive clause as such that prevents me from joining a direct competition or starting my own venture however, there are a few clauses which state I cannot canvas, take on work or offer advice to any clients I dealt with 6 months prior to termination, for a period of six months after termination. There isn’t a distance set in these clauses and whether that means their too wide ranging is a different debate entirely.
My question is, understanding I have to comply to such clauses, which I’d intend to, if I set up a new venture, presumably my business partners would remain unaffected and could deal with said clients if they knew them previously also from a different previous employer who holds no PTC’s?
I hope that makes sense!
