Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I have recently recieved cease and desist letter for a Non-Compete Agreement. I worked for a sales company that purchased products from manufacturers and resold them to end users. When I was fired there was no just reason and after 10 years of employment my file had no letters written ever stating that I had done anything wrong. In fact I was one of our companies top sales people.

My primary question is when I signed my agreement the company was NOT incorporated. A few months after signing this agreement the company changed to become incorporated. All future employees who signed the same contract signed it with the company's new name ending in Inc. Would this mean my agreement is no longer a valid agreement since legally the company name changed and my agreement was different from the employee's after me?

Your non-compete may not be enforceable but you probably want someone to review it and advise you. IF you want some information on how to beat Fla noncompetes, check out some of my postings on non-competes on my employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or www.behrenlaw.com.
