Question -

I work at agency "A" with one client (100% allocated to that client) - can I leave the agency to go work for my client?

It would be the same role, just a different area.

Unless you’re a VP or higher I seriously doubt there’s anything in your contract to keep you from doing so.

If the client likes you and wants to poach you, do it and never look back
