Case: Individual Employment Rights/Noncompete Agreements (M.D. Fla.)

A Florida federal court denied a preliminary injunction to Bottom Line Systems, LLC against a former employee who resigned to join a direct competitor, where the company didn’t prove a substantial likelihood of success on the merits due to complexities related to its successor-in-interest status with his prior employer, which it had acquired, and a separate agreement containing a noncompete clause with a Delaware choice of law provision creates potential inconsistencies with his prior contract.
