Restrictive Covenants
Advice on employment restrictive covenants, confidentiality and post-termination obligations from solicitors in Billericay, Essex.
About Restrictive Covenants
Employment contracts may restrict competition, approaches to customers or recruitment of colleagues after a departure. Whether a restriction is enforceable depends on its wording and legal context, not simply the fact it was signed. Confidential information and separate duties may need consideration even where a covenant is disputed.
Key Points
- Keep the signed contract and later amendments.
- Identify the proposed activity and the interests at issue.
- Obtain advice before starting a competing role or threatening enforcement.
How We Can Help
We review the restrictions and the circumstances of the proposed move or alleged breach. We explain potential risks and options for clarification, negotiation or proceedings, focusing on the particular obligations rather than treating all covenants as valid or invalid.
