Ok... from what I can gather, the current client doesn't know about your new contract. Why not just tell the client that you have been offered a new contract and that you are wondering if by mutual consent if you can be released early? In this scenario, you are only really pissing off the agent. You may burn bridges with the client, but that is the risk you have to take. Here's an idea (which has been suggested already), why not offer your services out of hours and bill accordingly? Also, why not agree to do a speedy and detailed handover?
Just a thought.
