    Default Non-Compete Clauses in Connecticut

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: CT

    I work at a client(A).
    Company 1 bills Client A.
    Company 2 bills Company 1.
    Company 3 bills Company 2.
    I work for Company 3. My company which is Company 3 has a non-compete clause in the agreement with Company 2.
    Company 2 DOES NOT have any direct connection with Client A. Company 2 probably has some agreement with Company 1 (which I am not sure of). Here is the clause:
    “sub-contractor (my company or me) specifically agrees that during the course of each work order and for a period of one(1) year following the termination of its services to any customer hereunder, it will not contract directly or indirectly with such customer”. Like I mentioned before, this is part of the agreement between Company 2 & Company 3 (whom I work for).

    Now, there is a new job that came up at Client A. For this, there is a new vendor Company 4. Now, when I talked to Company 2, they say as long as I work at Client A, I have to go through Company 2. But my understanding is, per the agreement I can't bypass Company 2 and work directly or indirectly through Company 1.

    Is my understanding correct? Can I bypass Company 2 and directly work through Company 4? Or is it illegal?

    Hope my story is not too confusing, if it is... please let me know I will try to be more clear.

    Apologize but there is an addition I should make to OP.

    Part of the agreement also says as below:

    "Subcontractor (my company or me) will not solicit, hire or contract with Company 2 or Customer personnel introduced hereunder, either directly or indirectly, during the course of and for one year following the termination of this agreement."

    To me, this doesn't change my original perception. But still, I would like to know experts' opinions.

    Thank you in advance.

    -Sachin

    Default Re: Non-Compete Clauses in Connecticut

    You need to have a lawyer read the actual contract and advise you. It's quite possible that the language you've added, or some other clause in the contract, applies to your situation. It would be foolish of us to assure you otherwise without having read the full contract, and even more foolish of you to accept our assurances - it goes beyond what can reasonably be done through an online forum.
