This is the set up: MyCo > Agency > Consultancy > ClientCo
The handcuff clause between MyCo and Agency says:
...or with any third party introduced to the Contractor or Personnel by the Client to provide any services of the same or similar nature to the Services during the term of the Assignment and for a period of 6 months
I see a grey area in that clause. I get that I'm not allowed to provide the same or similar services to ClientCo and there is a 6 month cool-off period. I assume this implies direct services to ClientCo?
If I switch to a new Consultancy (letting contract end naturally with Agency and old Consultancy) I will then be providing services to the new Consultancy. The relationship with ClientCo would be an indirect one.
I'm really unsure what legal situation that puts me in. What are your thoughts?
PS: Also keep in mind that in all circumstances i'm onsite at ClientCo.
