Yancey Brothers Co. (Yancey) employed Edward Murphree as a heavy equipment salesman. His employment contract prohibited hint from attempting to solicit any customers procured or serviced by him for two years after leaving Yancey. Murphree used a thumb drive to copy company files from his company laptop. He resigned and took a job with Flint Equipment Co. (Flint), a competitor selling the same equipment in the same territory. Murphree contacted his former Yancey clients and submitted heavy equipment bids to some. Yancey sued Murphree and Flint, alleging Murphree was in violation of his employment contract. Should the contract's nonsolicitation provision be enforced?
