Legal Question in Business Law in Connecticut

Excellent question.

It would depend largely on the contract you have with Agency B and whether, for example, it has non-compete language. To some extent, this would also depend on the type of work you do and the nature of the agency you have. Some professions and some agency relationships may have a higher duty that could persist after the conclusion of a contractual relationship.

Feel free to ping me offline if you require help with this.

What Attorney Fichman said is spot on. Whether or not you have the ability to go work with another agency largely depends on the language of your current employment agreement. Many employment agreements contain a non-compete agreement. A non-compete agreement can restrict the geographical area you may work in, who you may work for, and what duties you may perform for other companies for a defined period of time. However, the geographical and time restrictions in a non-compete agreement must be reasonable.

For instance, many non-compete agreements prevent an employee from leaving their current company and going to work for a competitor for a certain period of time, or leaving and taking any of their previous company's clients with them. Without additional facts as to the specifics of your situation though, it is difficult to give you a more refined answer.
