I used to do subcontract work for the company that took over my old employer, i was asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, the usual stuff, not divulging any company secrets etc to 3rd parties. I havent had any work from them in 8 months, and one of my old customers rang me to see if i could supply them with service on their machine, paper etc (machine under contract with old firm). I Had a call from the company i used to work for saying that i was in breach of confidentiallity contract, is this so, or does that contract just apply to divulging company business to a 3rd party?

Er, what does the agreement say? What you describe is not part of a confidentiality agreement, but more like part a standard anti-competition contract.

If you want me to review the document then I will do.

A lot of factors.

1. How senior were you
2. How vital was the information/how secret/proprietary
3. What are you planning to do for the new company

etc etc and on and on.

It's a judgement call.



Gut feel is that you'll be OK, but you need advice.


Let me know if you want me to do this.

Serious offer.
