Q: Could non-compete/non-solicit contract ever lead to criminal charges? If so, provide real life example.
I have a non compete/non solicit
contract with an employer. If there some sort perception where it appears as if I want to solicit. Does this make me a fraud or criminal?
Could someone ever go to jail for non-solicit contract?
A: A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Those contracts usually involve civil damages. If the contract additionally includes provisions for confidentiality/disclosure in a setting where sensitive defense industry information is involved, then criminal consequences could arise. A Missouri attorney should advise after reviewing the provisions of the contract and your setting. Good luck
