Is this a way out of the staffing contract between my staffing company and the job I want? Please HELP!!!?

Question

ok I worked at a company through a staffing agency we will call it place X and i finished the contract and went to another company through the Staffing company. We will call it Y. well two months pass and now company X offered me a full time position, but the staffing company says I need to stay with company Y because they have an agreement with X stating that they cannot talk to me for six months. But as of monday(before I start) company X is getting bought out by another company. So if I start work the following week I will be working for say company Z so would that contract even still be valid as company X no longer exists? Any help would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

Your logic is sound if company X changes it's name to Z. I would speak to the HR person at X to find out for sure what are your options.
