My client and the agent I contract through are about to part ways, due to being unable to resolve issues with their contract.
My contract with my agent says I cannot work for the client, in a similar role, for 12 months after the end of the contract. Presumably to stop me working directly for them.
I would very much like to continue working for this client and they have already sourced another agent, which I am happy to work through. As the break in relationship was nothing to do with me, can I switch to this other agent and not expect legal action to be taken by my current agents? I fail to see how they can justifiably stop me from earning due to reasons beyond my control, but would like clarification from those more experienced in this matter.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated, it seems like the ball will start next week (Monday June 30th 2008)
Thank you!
