Contract Interpretation Dispute — NDA prevents me from getting new job

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 18 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $109,000.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the implied covenant of good faith years for this type of claim.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
