You are the manager of a sales office, and notice that Karen (who works for a competitor) is a dynamite sales person. You'd love to have her join your team, so you ask her for coffee one day. Karen admits that she's not very happy at her current job, and when she hears the terms of your offer, she's excited and says she wants to work for you. Karen tells you she signed a non-compete agreement with her current employer that would prohibit her from working in the same field/same geographical area for at least one year after she left her current company, but she says her company has never enforced that agreement with other employees, and doesn't think it will be a problem. So you hire Karen and she brings all of her current customers to your company.
What kind of a tort claim might Karen's former employer bring against you? Explain.
What if Karen did NOT have a non-compete agreement with her former employer? What kind of tort claim might her former employer bring against you?
