Hi,
I have received an offer of employment from Y. I am currently employed by X. I would like to accept the offer from Y, but am concerned that in doing so I might be breaking restrictive covenants in my current employment contract with X.
Company Y is not a competitor to X - they are in different industries, and undertake different activities. However, Company X does currently provide services to Company Y (and therefore Y is a client of X). I have been involved in the provision of these services to Y.
On the basis that X and Y are not competitors, that leaves the following covenant as potentially applicable:
"You will not deal with or provide or supply any Client any Goods or Services at any time during the period of twelve months following the Termination Date."
Is me accepting employment by a Client, the same as me providing services to the Client?*
Thanks,
James
