Hi All,
I need some clarification on Non-Compete Clause.
Background
Client: ABC (ABC is an insurance and investment company. They do business in many countries, and their legal name may be like ABC UK Insurance, ABC Investment, ABC US, etc. But the parent company is ABC for all. )
Software Vendor: SV
Consulting Firm: CF
My Company: Myself
ABC UK Insurance gave the contract to SV to implement the product in their company. Due to lack of resource availability, SV contacted CF to see if they have any resources who can work on this project. CF is their implementation partner.
CF approached me and signed a contract with me to work on this project.
So CF supplied resources to SV, and SV introduced me to ABC Insurance. And I started working for ABC Insurance.
When I signed the contract with CF, in my contract there is a non competing clause "The Contractor shall not for a period of six months following the termination of the Assignment supply its services directly or through any other person, firm or employment business, to any client for which it has carried out assignments at any time during the previous six months".
Project details are
Candidate name: my name
Client: ABC
Contact at Client: xxx
I worked through this setup/contract for 12 months(3+6+3).
I finished this assignment in March.
Query :
A few days ago, ABC Investment reached out to me to determine whether they can contract with me directly as they are starting a project. I was recommended by SV(The same SV who had a contract with ABC UK Insurance) as it was a similar requirement that I implemented for ABC UK Insurance.
My question is ABC Investment and ABC UK Insurance and two separate legal entity. But the parent company is ABC.
Can I accept the contract offer from ABC Investment, as the management, people, technology/software used, etc are total separate then ABC UK Insurance? And If I do accept, can CF challenge me as in the contract they have mentioned Client as ABC.
