Large Indian Multinational suing ex-employee for breach of contract

[sprash25]

Last year, after working for almost 3+ years in the US for a large Indian Multinational (5+ overall), I decided to pursue other opportunities and got a job elsewhere. I transferred my L1b to H1b with a new company and emailed in my resignation letter.

I had completed the client's project in its entirety before quitting. Six months later (early this year) I got a notice from a law firm as a registered post which I refused to take and then probably the same notice in my ordinary mail which threatened to sue me unless I agreed for a settlement.

last month I received another notice by registered mail which I refused again.

Please note that -
- I got married in the US to my fiancee who lived in a different city before quitting and I moved after marriage. He is on an H1b
- I also enrolled in a Masters program in the new city.

Any advice as to how I should proceed?

All depends on your agreement signed by you and it also depends where you signed and what are the contents of agreement. You need to contact your lawyer with copy of your agreement
