Thought a non-compete was unbreakable until a plaintiff's lawyer in Austin broke down 2 words for me
I always figured those things were ironclad, but he showed me the clause only barred me from "soliciting clients" not just working in the same industry, and my old contract at a marketing firm in Dallas never defined what soliciting even meant. Anyone else run into a non-compete that fell apart because of vague wording?

Oh man, that definition gap is where these things always die. If the contract never says what "soliciting" means, the judge basically gets to decide, and a lot of them read it narrow, like you actually have to reach out to your old clients first. So yeah, sloppy wording is usually the whole ballgame.
