Hello,
My name is krisha, am working with NJ based Employer A. My employer has contract with company B in NJ, and company B has contract with company C(in CA). Company C has contract with our client in CA.
When I agreed for this assignment, Company B asked to sign the Non-Compete agreement. Now I am planing to work for same client through another company D.

1. Whether Company B control me by Non complete agreement
2. If Company B goes to court, which law (either CA or NJ) will apply since my work location is CA
3. Do I have chance to win if matter goes to court.

Advance thanks for your replies.

Let me be sure I understand:

Your current employer, "Company A" and "Company B" have a contract. Company B got you individually to sign a noncompetition agreement.

The consideration for this agreement, apparently, would be that Company B would enter into the business arrangement with Company A. So the NC agreement is probably valid.

It would be controlled by California law probably, especially if Company B sues you in California. If it was negotiated in New Jersey, that might be an argument in favor or the application of N.J. law. Why does it matter?

If I understand correctly what you have said, you haven't given me any facts which suggest a defense to an action by Company B to enforce the agreement against you.
