New job, similar industry: Can my former employer sue for breach of non-compete?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I had a contract with my former employer that had a 3-year non-compete clause. This was an internal company contract.
I later signed another contract with the Dubai Media City Authority, which only mentions that my non-compete is limited to the territory of Dubai.
Which contract am I bound by?
Additionally, the line of business is different between my former employer and my new employer. However, my former employer is saying that they will take legal action and file a case against me.
My new employer has a business within their group umbrella that is similar to one of the products of my former employer.
Can I be held legally liable?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
Non-compete clauses can be legally complex in the UAE, and the enforceability of such clauses often depends on various factors, including the specific terms of the contract and the circumstances involved.
It's important to consult with us as we specialize in labor and contract law in the UAE.
We can review both contracts and advise you on the enforceability and potential consequences of the non-compete clauses.

We will be happy to help you.
Thanks & Regards,
