My question involves independent contractors in the state of: California
I own a food consulting company (CA) and a large portion of my business comes from in and out of the state (CA). I have a noncompete agreement with a Delaware client that says I cant work for any competitor BUT in one specific field of the industry (for example, energy drinks) for 2 yrs.
My question is:
I know non-competes are invalid in CA (where Im based as a contractor), but will I be in breach if a client engages me for work who is located OUTSIDE of CA?
[Im assuming if I took a full time job (ie, not as a contractor) with a company outside CA, then this would be indeed be a breach.]
Any input would be great?
