Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
You don't have to sign any agreement that you don't want to, although, if your former employer is giving you something in exchange for your agreement (e.g. severance pay, etc.), it may be in your best interest to do so. Moreover, agreement or no, you have a legal obligation to maintain the confidentiality of your former employer's trade secrets.
