QUESTION
Is a non-compete enforceable in CA?
Asked on Mar 14th, 2015 on Employment Contracts - California
More details to this question:
I consulted for a beauty rep group that represented multiple beauty brands. I am in CA and signed a non-compete that i could not work for brands for 3 years. The owner ended the contract and a brand approached me to represent their brand because the rep group relationship was terminated with the skincare brand because they did not fulfill their agreed upon contract. Can she hold me accountable to the contract?

Non-competes are legal in California, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the non-compete in your agreement is enforceable. Non-competes that are unreasonably restrictive may at times be thrown out and if your contract was cancelled the non-compete may not survive either. I would need to review the contract and get a bit more detail to give you clearer guidance about your situation.
Thanks,
Jon
