Hypothetical question

Using a throwaway bc my boss knows my main. I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 8 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $15,000.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

I just learned that indemnification clauses can be mutual or one-sided. Always push for mutual indemnification — if they want you to indemnify them, they should indemnify you too. It's basic fairness.
