Advice when in doubt about non-compete clause

A self-employed entrepreneur contacted us with questions about a non-compete clause he had previously signed. He had underestimated the scope of that clause, and he was uncertain about what activities he could still pursue.

Together, we looked at what work was and was not covered by the clause so that he could move forward with confidence. We also discussed the possibility of having the clause annulled, as it was disproportionate. Thanks to this consultation, the client was able to make informed choices, without running unnecessary risks.
