Legal advice for solicting my Employees by my ex- employee
I have entered below non Solicitation clause with my employee when my employee joined the company. Now after resignation from my company, the employee has opened a business similar to my Company, but not with my customers. The business is registered as corporate and the Directors are my employees family members and not himself. My employee is a employee in such company.
The employee is soliciting my employees to join his organization orally and many have left and joined him. Can i take any legal action against below clause entered by such employee with me?
The Non-solicitation clause is as below between my company and my employee
