Non Compete Agreement WashingtonDC Seller Obligation Defense

In Washington D.C., disputes arising from a non compete agreement often occur when a seller re enters the same market or exploits transferred business assets after a transaction has been completed. In this case, a D.C. business attorney represented a buyer who acquired an IT services company only to discover that the seller continued operating a competing business, used the company’s trade name, withheld client lists, and made improper financial demands. Because non compete restrictions linked to business sales remain enforceable under District contract principles, the attorney sought remedies that would stop the seller’s competitive activities and secure compliance with the original sale agreement. This case study demonstrates how tailored legal strategy, contract interpretation, and evidentiary development enabled the buyer to enforce the non compete agreement and obtain binding judicial relief.

In the District, decisions to file stalking charges are heavily fact dependent, and investigators assess intent, repetition, and whether the conduct caused reasonable fear as defined under D.C. Code § 22-3133. This case explains how a Washington D.C. attorney prevented the government from proceeding with formal charges despite the complainant’s allegations and initial investigation.
