It's definitely fuzzy. I mean, someone like an account rep or a financial advisor (and their clients) can't unknow somebody. So even if someone isn't taking their client list and calling/emailing everyone, there's inevitably going to be an element of client "poaching" so long as they're still in the same business.

fyi there are clauses in contracts that try to control the use of residuals in “unaided memory” , trying to refer to stuff you just happen to know by dint of having been exposed to them, even though they’re in no explicit notes.
