An employer has 2 companies. Same Industry, different clients. A non compete was signed with the first company. A couple months later the employer started a second company due to tarnishing his name. He kept 2 clients with the first company and acquired new clients with the second company. Nothing was ever signed with the second company. The employer contacted a client the new company works for, not the company I signed a non compete with. Not only did he edit the document he sent this client to the new company's name , he submitted non competes for several others who never signed anything for either company. One has never even met him. Is any of this legal ? My non complete is specifically worded to be a contract between me and the first company. It says nothing about any other company's he owns or would own in the future.
