Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

If I am suing for a breach of contract but I signed a non-circumvent agreement will this affect my ability to properly sue, considering that I would need to tell the attorney all the pertinent and relative information surrounding the case?

The non-circumvent form that I signed essentially prohibits me from sharing certain types of information does hiring an attorney and telling my attorney the info that I learned when entering into the agreement constitute breaking the agreement on my end and hold me liable to any and/or all penalties associated with the non-circumvent part of contract. If so, how can I present this information to the attorney so that the attorney would have the relative and pertinent facts of the case and be able to fight for me and hopefully recover the financial damages that I obtained as a result of the contract breach?

Any conversation between you and your attorney will be subject to attorney client privileged and not discoverable by others. It is important to present any and all pertinent information to your lawyer. Obviously it is impossible to answer your question completely without viewing the agreement, but I would be surprised to see a court penalize you for sharing information with your attorney when it is not for the purpose of disseminating the information to a competitor.
