I’m currently working with a client through a another firm that “placed” me there. It’s not a contract shop; I was brought in as a subcontractor. Due to the other firm’s carelessness I have not signed a non-compete with them.
I’ve been working with this client for more than a year, staffed up the project, and grown the business.
The other form hasn’t done anything to manage the account so after a year the end client has decided that they would prefer to work directly with me.
They are willing to compensate the first firm for walking away from the relationship. As a ball-park firgure, what would be a reasonable amount?
Thanks.
