I am a IT consultant for my employer say X. Y had contracted me for another consultancy Z. Recently Z hired me for a full time opportunity with them wherein I will start consulting for Z's clients.
My employer X's lawyer sent me a legal notice stating i had signed the agreement and that to settle it I need to give up Z's offer. But my agreement states solicit or attempt to solicit customer of the Coporation is a breach. But wouldnt it be a breach if I work full time for X? Am I in a very weak situation and should do as he asked me to do or can i fight out it? please advice and the state is MI

Hard to understand your fact scenario, but you are bound to terms of your contract, so if an existing customer is offering you employment or your employment would impact on existing X customers you will be prohibited from such a job.
