Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you never signed a non compete agreement and were only an employee of the business, you have the right to go into business for yourself and to try and contact prior customers. Of course, this may have some repercussions for your father who sold the business to the new owner as he may not have the same rights and the Buyer may try to allege that you are similarly limited.

Assuming your or possibly your father hasn't contracted away these rights, you have them and can. Good luck!
