Atty will never give you a concrete answer on that.
Because there isn't one.
My firm won't hire from competing firms in the immediate area. Non-compete or not. It's a 'do unto others' thing.
That said when I investigated the issue I found that judges typically look to the reasonableness of the agreement. That is to say if it prohibits you from similar employment within 200 miles it may be tossed whereas a 20 mile radius type thing might be considered reasonable.

Thanks Beretta. In this case it's a national function for both companies. Guess it's probably worth talking to a lawyer to get advice on how to navigate the process should things unfold in that direction.
