peaceloveandPA Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Has anyone ever successfully found a loophole to a non-competition contract? I want to leave my current company and its non-compete within 60 miles. But it's family practice... So if I work as a specialist, the non compete would be obsolete, right? I am just in a really bad place right now and I love where I live... So trying to avoiding a move if I can. Let food be thy medicine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijyn Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It really depends how it is worded. Ideally it specifically lists FP or PC or FP/PC/IM thus allowing you to go to something in a specialty should you choose. However, it may be worded such that you can not provide care in a similar fashion (read urgent care or ER) within 60 miles. Or really anywhere in between. Some of my classmates contracts had wide non-competes that basically hamstrung them if they left, and some were simple (mine included). How long is the non-compete for? My advice is to get a contract lawyer to read it and break it down for you. It will possibly save you the time, energy, money, etc in the long run and also there may be some way to get out of it in general. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpac Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Depends on where you live too. Non-compete clauses are not enforceable in California. Legal counsel is advisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
