A potentially significant legal battle is in progress regarding a $100 million dispute involving a former employee of an international steel dust recycling company. The defense counsel recently argued before a federal court in Houston that two existing noncompete agreements between the company and the former employee were either overly broad or not legally enforceable.More details are available here.
The testimony seemed to sway the CEO of the company, who expressed that he might need to reconsider his stance on pursuing one of the contentious claims. However, whether or not this would cause a shift in the trajectory of the case remains to be seen and is subject to discussions with the company’s legal team. The proceedings continue with all parties keenly awaiting further developments.
