What&#x27;s their success record for enforcing them?<p>In Minnesota, I&#x27;ve had companies twice drag me into court trying to enforce a non-compete and the judge laughed at both companies and I was sent on my way.<p>The key in both cases was the company I had left was trying to keep me from working in the same field for a competitor. My attorney argued that if I&#x27;m &quot;gainfully employable&quot; you can&#x27;t restrict me from earning a living in my chosen field - to do so would invite economic hardship.<p>The judge asked if they would rather compensate me for two years at my current salary (which was a six figure salary), or let me go work for their competitor. The company quickly chose the latter.
