Restrictive covenants and confidential information

Every business has information that it considers both integral and invaluable to its success. Restricting the use of this information, or the soliciting of customers by employees after their term of employment may be vital to the protection of your market position. The inclusions of restrictive covenants  and confidentiality clauses in the contracts of senior or key staff at the commencement of the employment relationship aims to protect the use of this information. 

Such covenants must be written to show that the covenant is designed to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests and that it extends no further than is reasonably necessary to protect those interests 

Our experienced team of Employment Lawyers can advise on existing restrictive covenants or draft new covenants that ensure your business interests are upheld should the contract terminate.
