Drafting And Enforcing Restrictive Covenants

We routinely advise employers in relation to the enforceability of post termination restrictions.

Restrictive covenants are an important tool to protect a business’ interests. We routinely advise employers and senior executives in relation to the enforceability of post termination restrictions and employee confidentiality requirements.

We draft documentation on behalf of clients to maximise the prospect of the enforceability of such provisions, together with taking steps to protect our clients’ interests to enforce restrictions.

Such steps often include pre-action correspondence with individuals and their legal representatives, together with a full range of appropriate legal remedies, such as actions for recovery of damages and enforcement by way of injunctions.

Recent examples of work in this area include:

• Assisting our commercial litigation colleagues with the enforcement of restrictive covenants, including applications for injunctions and search and seize orders.
• Advising a former senior employee accused of misuse of confidential information and database rights issues.
• Advising a senior employee and new employer in relation to allegations of breach of restrictive covenants and theft of confidential information.

Please contact a member of the employment team to discuss any issues relating to restrictive covenants.
