Restrictive Covenants
When you employ good people they may come with restrictions from their previous employment. Those restrictions can include whether they can work for you yet, which client relationships they could bring with them and what information they can discuss with you.
If someone leaves your employment, these issues can arise in reverse.
Therefore it is critical to make sure that your own contracts properly protect you but don't extend too far.
We can help with:
- Drafting restrictive covenants for you that should be enforceable
- Advising on whether a potential employee can start work for you yet
- Advising on whether a potential employee can try to win certain business for you
- Bringing or defending proceedings for breach of contract
- Applying for an injunction, or defending you against one
