Vodra was employed as a salesperson and contracting agent for American Security Services. As part of his contract of employment, Vodra signed an agreement that for three years after leaving this employment, he would not solicit any customer of American. Vodra had no experience in the security field when he went to work for American. To the extent that he became known to American’s customers, it was because of being American’s representative rather than because of his own reputation in the security field. After some years, Vodra left American and organized a competing company that solicited American’s customers. American sued him to enforce the restrictive covenant. Vodra claimed that the restrictive covenant was illegal and not binding. Was he correct? [American Security Services, Inc. v Vodra, 385 NW2d 73 (Neb)]
