"Delivered the scoped work product ahead of the agreed deadline. The memorandum was clear, well-organized, and the analysis was actionable. Texas covenant knowledge as advertised. One caution: the bid listed a deliverable that was later recharacterized, and all requests were answered with strict scope language. Ensure everything from the bid appears in the engagement letter before signing. Work quality: strong. Style: strictly transactional."

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. This engagement was a limited‑scope project focused on providing written legal analysis to the four specific questions in your bid request. You selected my bid after your clarifying questions were fully answered, and the engagement letter reflected that scope as written. The work product delivered matched the scope requested and agreed to in the engagement letter. Clear deliverables upfront make short, fixed‑fee engagements efficient and predictable, and they help ensure competitive bids are evaluated on a consistent scope. We all expect a level playing field with fixed goal posts. I am glad to hear the memorandum was clear, well organized, and actionable, and that the work quality and timeliness met your expectations. I appreciate the opportunity to assist with your Texas covenant review.

Can my employer enforce a non-compete agreement if I was laid off due to COVID-19?
Can my former employer legally enforce the non-compete agreement I signed when I was hired, considering I was recently laid off due to the economic impact of COVID-19 and the agreement seems to restrict my ability to find new employment in my field? I have been actively seeking new job opportunities in the same industry, but potential employers are hesitant to hire me due to the non-compete agreement, which restricts me from working for competitors or starting my own business in the same field for a certain period of time. I want to understand if the non-compete agreement is still valid and enforceable given the circumstances of my layoff and the current job market conditions.

I'm sorry, but your question is impossible to answer without reviewing your contract and knowing more about your type of job and compensation. Be aware that terms in such agreements are often found to be non-enforceable. You can start by reviewing the Washington State law on point: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.62&full=true

Can my employer enforce a non-compete agreement I signed even though I was not provided any additional compensation or benefits in return?
I recently started a new job and was asked to sign a non-compete agreement as a condition of employment. However, I just found out from a colleague that my employer has been enforcing the non-compete agreement against former employees and preventing them from working in similar roles at competing companies. I am concerned because I was not given any additional compensation or benefits in exchange for signing the agreement, and I believe it may be unfair and potentially unenforceable. Can my employer legally enforce the non-compete agreement even though I did not receive any additional compensation or benefits in return?

Hello! Generally, New York courts require that a non-compete agreement be supported by adequate consideration. If the agreement is signed at the beginning of employment, the job itself may serve as adequate consideration. However, if the non-compete is signed after employment begins, the employer may need to offer additional benefits, such as a raise or promotion, for the agreement to be enforceable. There are other defenses against enforcement. For a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must be reasonable in terms of duration, geographic scope, and the scope of activities it restricts. A court will evaluate whether the agreement is necessary to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests, such as confidential information or customer relationships. If not, a court could rule the noncompete is not enforceable.
