AVVIO ARGOMENTO
legally, rather than ethically Mar 9, 2023

Nobody can restrict an individual’s choice of working with whomever they please or can.


As a matter of fact, the agencies don't forbid me from working with other clients/agencies; indeed, after a certain amount of time has elapsed from the termination of the contract, I could even re-approach their very same clients and get them directly...

The conundrum was whether (legally) it was okay for me to mention in an introductory email the names of their clients (i.e. the law firms I have provided my services to), albeit not making any specific connection whatsoever between my agencies and their clients (again, the law firms)...

Thanks!

Now, from the legal point of view, there is nothing your former agency can do, even if you signed that you will not work for their end clients for whatever period.


Huh? Any claimed contract violation in whatever context can be taken to civil court, and it would be up to the court to evaluate the parties' rights. Non-compete clauses are pretty standard, and I don't see why they wouldn't be enforcable (if they're in line with current practise).

Translators are small fry and it's unlikely to be worth an agency's trouble to sue them over minor violations. That's another story.
