Top Law Schools

I was in-house for a company and then got recruited by a firm that works with that company. I am now, some time after joining the firm, working on matters related to my original company. Am I blocked by any fiduciary duties from asking the company if I can rejoin as in-house?

I don't want the firm to hit me with a breach of fiduciary duties by way of "stealing" a client, tortious interference with contractual relations, etc.

As in-house I would be doing much of the same work I am doing for the firm, so the firm would definitely lose revenue if I jumped back to in-house.

What? No

I kinda like this world where law firms can literally conflict their associates out of certain areas of law solely by letting an associate do a certain type of work. Creates really interesting incentives across the board
