Q: After signing a offer letter and non compete letter I found out the company was under an FTC investigation. Can get out
I retired from the navy in 2106. Signed an offer letter and non disclosure agreement with a small privately held company. Purchased a home and relocated. Three months later I found out the company was under an FTC investigation. If I would have known, I wouldn’t have joined the company. With the relocation and purchasing of a home I was financially obligated to stay. Staying with the company is harming my reputation. As a result, I am ready to resign, but would like to get out of my non compete agreement. Is this possible?
A: It may be possible, but you need to work with an experienced PA attorney review your situation and review the documents that you signed with the company. It is difficult to give you guidance without actually consulting with you directly about your situation.
