Re: Freelance non-compete?

[Adam Erickson] "Basically, it would bar me from working with other companies in town, working with their clients even if I am not a freelancer with them, and any work I come across on my own must be cleared with them even if it is not a client of theirs."

If they won't let you work for any other clients, then you're not a freelancer, your a staffer and they should withhold taxes and give you benefits.

If they don't want to do that then you should decline their offer, and tell them why.

Also, you should maybe let your local labor & tax departments know. It raises a red flag that they're probably not doing some other things that they're supposed to.
