You want to leave your clinic, but there is a non-compete clause!

• You are not happy at your present clinic and you've been thinking about leaving.
• The clinic owners don't value you, and you dread going to work at the clinic.
• Your relationship with the clinic owners have gone from bad to worse, and you can see that things will not improve.
• You feel trapped and have lost the motivation to practice good medicine.
• The atmosphere at work is tense and you are stressed about the whole situation.  You just don't want to be there anymore.
• However you signed an agreement with a non-compete clause when you joined the clinic.
• Because of the non-compete clause, the clinic owners have threatened to sue you if you attempt to leave or to work within a certain distance from the clinic.

If the above applies to you, then its definitely time to move on and leave the clinic.  The first step is to take a deep breath. The law says that in order for a non-compete clause to be enforceable it must be "reasonable".  Contact me, I'll review your agreement, and if required I'll provide you with a legal analysis - together we can plan a proper exit strategy for you.  You are a medical professional, you should be respected and valued.  DON'T GET BULLIED BY THE CLINIC!
