Subject- Is It Illegal To Work For Previous Company Client

Job Seeker HQ
Dear Shubhi05,

There are some good point and options in the above threads, however I have a slightly different thought.

Since the client is already doing business with your present Co. Is it possible for you to take up the position through your present Co.?

i.e. ask your present employer to pitch for the position to the client and if they get the business, you can get allocated there.

If this works out,

1. There is no hassle about legal issues

2. You get continuity of employment

3. Your present Co. gets business

4. The client does not have to buy out your notice and you can start work immediately

Also, bear in mind that your Co. has business relations with the client, if the client pulls away people (directly or indirectly) from your Co. they will firmly object to the client. It will be a situation like "when two elephants fight it's the grass that suffers the most" (here the grass would be you).

I am not fully aware about your situation but just giving you a different option to think about.

Best Regards,

Ritesh Shah
